It's a wonderful idea. To have a chance, you would need * leader(s) with a convincing vision for 'the new thing' * long-term financial backing * hardware design expertise * partnerships with major hardware manufacturers You also need a target market that is * under-serviced by the current vendors * small enough not to be worth fighting over * large enough to keep you financial * prepared to disown all their existing applications If you get all this, and are incredibly lucky, you will become Apple. But you're much more likely to end up as Be Inc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris" <racerx@makeworld.com> Subject: Think outside of the box (Gawd, I hate that term) > Guys (and gals) > > As great as the *BSD's are - why are we not thinking ahead of the curve? > Outside of the box?
