I agree hole heartedly Elan. In the back of my mind I am seeing "Turbo Pascal". I don't know if you where around when it was popular, but I was in college at the time. It was owned by every geek on campus. When every other language was selling for ridiculas prices with all manner of bizzar run time fees, you could get "Turbo Pascal" for practiclly nothing and there was no run time fee involved. That little company eventually became Borland Computers. At the sametime I'm thinking of BEOS. They have a beautiful product but their pricing is keeping the OS out of the hands of the people that could make it a player. I may be wrong but I don't think BEOS will ever be a contender simply because the owner is so intent in making money from day one. Just my humble thoughts on the issue.
