    Yeah, right.  Let's take a theoretical example.  Procyon decides to
port GNO to the Mac.  Slap an X interface on it so that Mac people will
actually recognize it and sell it as a commercial product.  Here you
have something that you might think of as "A/UX for the masses".  Since
Procyon isn't stupid, they know they can get away with charging $250 to
$300 per copy of GNO for the Mac and it will still sell.  If the market
will support it, then why not?
