If everyone on the net with the appropriate skills volunteered 5 (five)
hours per week of their time, we could write our own OS, editor, utils, 
etc, and leave IBM, Apple, HP, and everyone else in the dust.  Okay, 
maybe we'd need to tap some folx outside the net community.  But ask 
yourself how much you'd get in software for your 5 hours.  

I picked 5 hours as an arbitrary number, but I hereby volunteer my 5.
Now, we need a good co-ordinator. . . .

I said it was Nutty.
