that's not really what i meant. anybody who has read this list over a
reasonably period of time or who conducts a rudimentary lookup on my
name using google will very rapidly get the impression that i'm
probably available for any consulting projects related to linux, audio
and MIDI. and indeed, i've done a couple. but thats it. no other
offers, no discussions, no companies wanting to tap the information
and perspective i might have after spending 3+ years working mostly
full time on this stuff.
one would have to conclude that companies are not really interested.

1) "it doesn't crash. ever." [ well, OK, but we're getting there. ]
2) "its will never be made obsolete by an OS vendor's business decisions."
most people i know consider these fairly commercially attractive.
