Alright, I'll concede this point. But since the engineer
will have some free time, I thought of one more thing
to add:

10. Add Brewer color tables to IDL. Once you start working
with Brewer color tables, IDL's normal color tables seem so,
well, jarring. Like turning on the radio one morning to
hear your favorite smooth jazz station only to find they
have switched the format to hip-hop. It makes you a little
queasy.

Cheers,

David
