Thanks to your generosity, we were able to upgrade our service plan. Hopefully this will help us address some of our performance issues.
Devcat is done with rearranging local software extensions. If anyone notices any problems, say so :^)

Many years ago, I spent a week in Montreal (the province) at an improve-your-skiing resort, on a package deal that included all the wonderful food they do up there. As soon as I got home I had to pack up and fly off to a five-day conference in New Orleans, with the company picking up the tab for all the wonderful food they do down there. At the end of that week I was back to home-cooked food, and it was a serious disappointment. (Clearing my own table and washing my own dishes was even worse.)Report
