That's good.  I'm glad there are people actually doing this.  I guess
we'll just need to wait until the entire industry starts screaming, and
then we'll finally reach the same state as the railroad industry
concerning time keeping.

As for your co-workers putting their jobs on the line to resist pressure
from pointy-haired bosses (with regards to standardization), do give them
encouragement.  I'm sure they'll appreciate knowing there are people who
support them.

Thanks.
