LOL! Maybe --- depends on the foot to be applied.  Dad
has a big foot; thankfully enough, I suppose, it hasn't
been placed there for 30 years give or take.  

Now, at work, I'm  the boss, so if I have to deinstall 
every port on the box, I can take the day off and let 
it compile as long as Apache, PHP, dovecot, and fetchmail 
get "pkg_add" called first thing before anyone else 
shows up.  (I suppose one difficulty there is that 
PHP seems to be more temperamental than it used to be 
before all the modules were "split off", but maybe that's
the fact I've not played with the thing much lately other
than to write code in it.)

Which might show that there is some advantage to being
a "one and 2/3" person organization.  Of course, I can't
think of many others that apply at present.
