Zelik Schwartzman hit the nail on the head with his question, "What are we
really purchasing MS-WORD or an operating system." This is a huge
undertaking and it will produce a huge result.

I fully support the emulator project. I hope succeeds, I want it to succeed
and if I had the ability to write the code I would actively attempt to make
it succeed. That said there are still a couple of question in my mind.

My questions include these: Is all of this effort too little too late, i.e.
a year after 11/14 how many people have given up on this idea and how much
longer will others wait? What type of companies are going to homestead? Are
they going to be ones with deep or shallow pockets? Are they looking at
homesteading as a stop gap measure or is this a "permanent" solution? What
are they willing to invest?

I know these are marketing questions and we all laugh at marketing people
but we are talking about marketing a product. I am not suggesting another
survey but some "market research" does need to get done. The purveyors and
the purchasers of the product each need to know what is expected.

Thank you to everyone working to make this project a success.
