In a technical sense, nothing very interesting. But, the ability to do
a decent job on BoringBusinessBits(tm) might lead to more people being
able to make a living using Squeak, which in turn might help with
development in other areas. After all, if you're able to make money out
of Corporate Elbonia and want to see general improvements in Squeak to
help increase that income then you're sure to end up sending me money
to improve performance or port to ElboniaSoft Doorways '06.
