Congratulations! Thank you again, mabshoff, for the countless hours of low-level work, the patient tutoring, and the steady encouragement and push to keep things moving. We all benefit (including all future Sage people) from your experienced hand in software matters. And thanks again to Jaap for sponsoring this!
