It's somewhere between funny and sad, but I find one thing that 
impresses folks who have experience programming on Windows is that the 
Rev engine is self-contained, and unlike VB or ToolBook doesn't require 
an army of DLLs strewn all over the hard drive.

I tell 'em: "The engine weighs in at just 2MB and is totally 
self-contained -- it's the end of DLL conflicts", and they damn near 
fall out of their chair.
