Outside of the box? What do I mean? Well - why not develope our OS's to run on an arch. that isn't out yet - MAKE that new arch. just like Gates did so many years ago. He defined the x86 market - why can't we do the same? With all the thinkers out there (Jordan, Theo) wouln't that be thebetter way to go? Just a thought - and willing to confess, I have zero clue how to get there. But, we need to get there. -- Best regards, Chris ______________________________________________________________________ PGP Fingerprint = D976 2575 D0B4 E4B0 45CC AA09 0F93 FF80 C01B C363 PGP Mail encouraged / preferred - keys available on common key servers ______________________________________________________________________ 01010010011000010110001101100101011100100101100000000000
