Is there an annual prize for Vapor-ware in the computer world anywhere?
I would like to nominate Wendin Inc. with their $50 UNIX package (what
some claim UNIX is worth) for the prize if there is one.  Has anyone
ever advertised and taken money for a software product four months before
it is available before??
