New iTools user: "Who is this straight-talking IDL wizard Fanning?
Let's see what other good things he has to say about iTools... "
[.... google groups searching, Fanning+iTools ....]

"I have heard of people outside of RSI writing programs with iTools,
but they have spent the past six months writing their own
documentation so they can figure it out."

"Is anyone actually doing useful work with iTools? I don't
personally know anyone who uses them. (Or at least has confided that
fact to me.)"

"Of course, the price of this feature is an enormous increase in
complexity, which I think makes iTools so complicated no one outside
of RSI can use it. (Which, I have been thinking lately, must really
be the Plan. :-)"

"Otherwise the one or two people who use those iTools (according to
my recent informal survey) would be *extremely* upset. :^)"

Truth in advertising activists, alert ;).
