And don't get stuck in the boat I was, when I finished my wonderful
port of OS-9 to the TRS-80 Color Computer.  Called Microware, ``sorry,
you can't do anything with it; we've sold exclusive rights to Tandy.''

Threw it (the OS-9) port in the trash.  But it worked better than Tandy's,
in many regards!
