Hey Greg,

I would like to use your story. I think it sounds interesting. Lots of 
well known companies have less than 10 people. I think it would surprise 
  many people if they knew. Technology can make take the place of 
people, especially with the Internet.

I'm surprised Mozilla crashed at LinuxJournal. They're so pure. They 
wouldn't use Movable Type because it wasn't GPL'd. I don't think they 
have anything M$ there. They won't even accept articles accept in html 
or text.

I looked a little while ago and my article isn't posted yet. My editor 
is gone until next Monday. So, I don't know who has it.
