Funny. I thought that we had $100 to spend. I thought that we allocated
that $100 to desired features. I seem to remember that the free format
crap cost $100. SO... I voted my $100 across other functions that needed
those corrections and the high-leverage changes to the language.

What happened to my $100? Can IBM now spend $200? How did that happen?

Screw the free format. If it was free format that they truely wanted and
needed, then migrating to COBOL or PL/I would have done it.
