That's like assuming that everyone Rs The FM!!  I never assume that.
Experience has proven otherwise!  <~>

But those 75,000 users are, for the most part, educated end users, while
most of the million CTOS users are dealing with a "black box" on the
job.

I did a few utilities that were supposed to be PD and released to the
world.  They disappeared into the CT/Unisys "black hole", so...  These
days I'd rather make money.  <~>  If I thought there was any real chance
of getting a return on shareware, I'd do some, but we both know how much
software was "appropriated" by customers without payment.  It soured me
on the prospects for doing shareware.

Nah...  I'm not THAT expensive.  Two hours, maybe...  <~>

You jest, of course...  As you know, that **IX stuff doesn't turn me
on.  I still have a 7300 and Mini+ around, and even use them sometimes,
but rarely.  Actually, I'm using an NPC (remember that??) through a
local BBS.

        Best,
