LOL! No, I'm working on a script that inventories all the environments
we're running in our development labs. With virtualization, we have lots
of new environments popping up all over the place - most of which are
intended as temporary test environments - that have the unfortunate side
effect of hanging around a lot longer than we had hoped.
