Well, it's not a mom and pop shop anymore, that's for
sure. But the FastDL guys are part of the high-end
physics community, where you don't just start your
IDL program and go get a cup of coffee. You start your
program and go teach a class, get a haircut, stop at
Starbucks, etc. Those guys are pretty clear they could
use something like this. :-)

Cheers,

David
