  32. First you'd need to find a developer stupid enough to hand out their
  33. source code.  Then you'd need to convince NewTek to open their arms 
  34. to all comers and expend their precious time compiling and debugging 
  35. *other people's products* for all LW platforms.  Would you rather have
  36. technical support from NewTek, or would you like them to pay their
  37. workers to develop other people's products for them, or would you like
  38. to have your cake and eat it, too?
  39.  
  40. Even Commodore and Apple weren't stupid enough to do that.  :-)
