Jon... you obviously never had Neil Harris threaten to crush your nuts or
call the FBI on you because you had NeoChrome 0.9 available for download
(after he himself said that 1.0 would be the commercial release), or
the Breakout ACCessory that everyone else had for download, or the
CP/M emulator, or the VT-100 emulator...
 
Luckily the FBI just laughed at him...
