Embarcadero is in the business of milking this dead product for all the juice that's left in it. I'd in no way _start_ a business using embarcadero, it's pretty much strictly for legacy products.

I won a Sencha Mobile contest once, an eternity ago, and the website was hosted on the designers server (I met him on the sencha forums). We had a cron script to scrape twitter, and that cron job is still running and sending me emails, and I haven't been able to get a hold of him since.

It's been sending me emails every 60 seconds for a decade with no way to for me to turn it off.

Sorry that should have said the cron job is still sending me emails. No he uninstalled python at some point and it's just telling me that it's missing. I'll try to see how long it ran successfully though.
