Indeed.  NOS/VE is a remarkable operating system.  The only, truly 
insurmountable problem is: (two parts)

	a)  VE only runs on Cybers
	b)  Cybers (present-day) only run VE

Almost everything else is religion.  These two points are the only reason that
Cybers and VE will never, ever, nohow, noway make a significant dent on the
way people - in the widest sense - compute.

And it's a shame.
