I think that's what they call "enabling."

Joking, of course. Good to know.

You'd be shocked how many programs in businesses don't get upgraded to newer versions of the programming language because A) guy who wrote it is the only one who knows anything about the software, B) business decides it costs to much to train the programmers on the new version, C) all of the above, D) COBOL and FORTRAN will work forever and we don't need 4 digits for a year field, wtf you talking about??
