This is a knee-jerk reaction to a posting in net.micro.pc looking
for a financial accounting system for a non-profit operation. 
That was a request for a system to run on a PC with 512K, while
I think I could make do with CP/M with 64K.  We don't want
checkwriting or invoicing, but we need recording and reporting
features that are not found in small-business packages.

I have concluded that a software writer will never make any money
writing software to meet the needs of non-profit organizations
that don't like to spend money, and therefore I will have to write
my own.  If anybody can prove me wrong, I'd love to find out.
