I agree with Andre. To the average web user, what is displayed is  
pretty awful, and, even to a person with little rev experience such as  
me, the actual rev script is shorter and simpler to understand than to  
web output. This is not meant to be aggressive towards Phil, but I  
hope the engineers at the mothership will come up with some examples  
more convincing than that. Hey, 499 bucks is the price of a juicy  
Enterprise edition!
Really, there must be a way to make this good looking, no?

No hard feelings, really
