I could donate some malware I recently de-obfuscated to the screen printing company, if that would help. I keep getting it in my spam box.

Just 3-4 years ago I had to expend great effort to get a client to drop “IE 6 Support” as one of their requirements.
They finally had a gentle talk with one senior VP and our billable-hours dropped dramatically.

I thought it was cute, but Ms. Redux was unimpressed: “I wear Erlang or I wear nothing at all.”
