I tend to agree - these people were stupid enough to buy crap technology in the
first place, let them pay for the support too. :)

I'd love to do something like this. I have loads of little snippets sitting
around my local and remote machine, just begging to be tidied up and used as
demos. Like my PHP/PGP encryption app; my realtime currency convertor -
<http://scripts.iewebs.com/currencies/>; or even simple things like a password
generator <http://scripts.iewebs.com/passwords/>; or NSLookup
<http://scripts.iewebs.com/nslookup/> (to stop all those nasty packet monkeys
picking up on your WHOIS search for that oh-so-clever domain name :).

And I'm sure that Donncha and the other PHP/Perl heads have plenty of those
little things too - useless in their own right, but handy out...
