I don't see why that's relevant. To design software, all you need is a fully functional computer. To design software and make a profitable business out of that, you need quite a bit more; but that's not what's being discussed here. To design Open Source software (which BeOS never was, TTBOMK) and make that successful, you need a slight bit more than 'just' a computer, too (although not /that/ much more); but that's not being discussed here either. -- EARTH smog | bricks AIR -- mud -- FIRE soda water | tequila WATER -- with thanks to fortune
