- I'm part of the "assorted techies" category and I think you are missing
- the problem.
- If I'm using someone else application I don't care if I'm running
- Windows NT, HP-UX or even MS-DOS as long as the application works.
- But I don't look forward to porting to a new platform all the tools
- I've built to solve my particular brand of problems.
