Toby,
You keep saying cryptic stuff like "b/c the Amazon code assumes bash"
and we'll rope you into another presentation. :)  For the curious,
Amazon Web Services (link below) offers a number of services.  Three
services that interest me are Message queues, Virtual servers (EC2),
and network storage (S3).  Unfortunately, I have not done anything
that needs to use them. :(
