Well, here's one person hoping that somebody will spend it (either  
NeXT or a third-party app developer).  I'm not sure it has to be part  
of the OS, but I'd really like to be able to get at Photo CD image on  
my NeXT; The minute that becomes possible is the minute my mono  
station gets advertised in comp.sys.next.marketplace as being for  
sale.
