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.
