From the laborious Multi-tasking discussion which has been going on here, it
sounds like there may be quite a few. You're more familiar with marketing
software than I, so I wouldn't hazard to suggest a price for the developers'

good is the kernel, if there is no software to run with it?

It looks like you may indeed have the right approach. I've admired your work
in the past. I hope you get enough replies to start up your idea!
