APL in Colorado, USA? Am I the last one?

Sometimes is gets lonely, in a professional sense, being an APL
developer, especially here in the Rocky Mountain West.

I would love to hear from APL users in this region; say, in Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado and/or New Mexico. Say hello and maybe there is a
free beer in the deal if I am passing through your town.

I know of one large APL application in SE Denver that is still being
maintained after 27 years of service. The company is investing no
significant development resources into this application .... just fix,
patch and pray it still works.

Perhaps an actuary here or there is using APL.

IBM Boulder manages their APL2 product 3,000 feet below me (in
Colorado we measure geography in altitude, not distance). Do they use
it themselves? I don't know.

I am getting the sinking sensation that I may be the last person for
500 miles around who is actually doing serious development in APL.

I am a graduate mechanical engineer, so I would be doubly pleased to
hear from another engineer who uses APL (I have never previously met
one). Recently I began toying with the idea of doing something with
APL, ActiveX and AutoCAD to "parameterize" the creation of drawing
objects more effectively then using the current standards, VBA or
AutoLISP. Holding me back on this initiative is the thought of making
a sales call on a large engineering shop, facing a sea of hundreds of
engineers, and getting that dreaded "What is APL, never heard of it"
question.

Do I really need that kind of grief?

Oh well, please chime in if you live a mile or more above sea level!
LOL.
