Your logic doesnt follow. Why, then, isn't Be (BeOS) still around ? Plenty of fully functional computers around at the time -- and Yes, I know Steve Jobs killed off the Apple clone market. But the problem was Be could not switch architectures fast enough to survive. True point revealed: functional hardware doesnt go very far without functional Software. -- WC -Sx- Jones http://insecurity.org/
