Hee hee.  Okay, whatever you say.  If this your idea of logic, then
there's little else I can say.  A niche computer with billions of sales,
a niche language with hundreds of thousands of installations.  If that's
your idea of a niche, then I'll agree with you and be happy to be a
niche player.

See, wasn't that easy?  All we had to do was to redefine "niche" to mean
something new, and suddenly your statements are perfectly valid.  Hey,
if it worked for Bill Clinton...

I love this.  You and Brad Stone... "You won't ever let anyone else have
the last word".  As if just by responding I'm somehow discredited.  Why
in the world should I let you have the last word?  It's rare that you
haven't said something that should be corrected.

But at some point it becomes prudent to disengage.  And so I shall.
