- You mean QNX Systems has been losing money for 15 years? Wow, they
- must have really deep pockets to have stayed in business that long.
- Making money selling an OS is a lot easier if you're not trying to
- compete with Microsoft's market, and last I checked, Microsoft wasn't
- in the realtime embedded OS market. It all boils down to having a
- product that can do something that mainstream OS's can't do, and
- being able to do that VERY well.

- AT had better have a better reason to buy their PowerPC hardware than
- for it to act as a dongle for PowerPC AmigaOS.
