Good Comparison of PC-Windows market and Next market deleted

However, we can hope that developing on a Next is easier to do than in that  
Windows environment.  We should add that the checkbook program mentioned  
requires a team of 5 windows experts and 3 manyears of work to get the product  
out the door.  Whereas the Next app too a college student a weekend.


All kidding aside. If we are constrained to the normal venture startup  
companies the market for Next software is too small to bother with.

A better model for comparison I think is that of comparing it to a writer.   
Most professional writers will tell you: "Don't quit your dayjob when you make  
your first sale."  

The small cheap useful apps are going to be written by people who are not  
depending on sales to make their living, at least initially.  The income  
function will be 0 for the first year or so (learning).  Finally the first good  
app comes together.  A month of hard work.  That month may generate income for  
the next several years.  

The really large complicated apps are either going to depend on programmers  
sharing (by sale or gift) new object classes, or are going to be limited to  
corporations who can afford to put significant resources into a product without  
an immediate hope of return.
