Hi Rowan!

I was just glancing at my friends list while waiting for crucial incoming email before we head up to Maryland for Thanksgiving, and saw "rowanf" in my friend-of list.

We're all packed and ready to head off to Maryland for Thanksgiving, and I'm sitting here waiting for my parents to email me a crucial form for our Medicaid recertification that was due YESTERDAY in a file format that we can actually use.  Why does every closed-source software vendor in the WORLD have to have their own friggin' proprietary file formats for common data like scanned images?  Come the hell ON, people, what's the point of having standards if NOBODY WILL FRELLING USE THEM?!?!?
