Dave,
About half of the OS upgrades are more like bug fixes,in my opinion!
And I cringe at the costs of programming tools/programs .
I don't expect you ham programmers to ever get a private jet like
Jobs(Have to admit I hold more respect for the Woz ), either.Hope you get
enough to feel its worthwhile.
I suppose niche markets are all that's left for the independent in any
field.
