Raises hand.

I use Zope everyday for development for various customers. When I hit a snag in Zope, 
I have to convince the customer to pay me to fix the problem. Usually, I get asked "can 
you work around that? What if we eliminated feature xyz?"  or "How long will that take?"

This is never pleasant. (still thinking about collector item 47  :-(

I suppose I could do Zope stuff off-the-clock on personal time, but that's impossible with 
two small kids at home, plus doing college studies.. I'm supposed to be building an 
airplane too, but the darn kit has sat in the basement for a year, nothing done.

SPLAT, sounds interesting, like to see how that stacks up to roundup..
