  I wouldn't mind living in a time when an engineer could make a living supporting 20 users. (Or maybe you still can?)

    That's 20 installations, not 20 users. In early computing many users would share the same computer.

    I don't use `gem`. Are these available in a format other than hardcoded into the source code?
