SPUG: Minimal Perl web site & notification requests

[Mike McLaughlin]

Imagine how much cheaper and quicker it would be if they didn't use
MS-word.  I am anouncing now that I refuse to deal with a publisher who
not only uses MS-word but then complains that it takes too long and has to
charge extra.
