I would like to have VIP too. The Business market for OS9 products is just
at the very beginning and I think it will grow, because there is no other
Operating System, which is sold at a reasonable price and has the power of OS9.
Especially MSDOS and(!) OS/2 cannot handle big disks (CDROM's), what will
be a must in the future. On the other hand is UNIX no price competitor, because
you need a much bigger system to give the user the same power and in case of
a power failure the user of a UNIX-PC has to be an expert to get his data
back, if he or she has not very much luck.
Therefore write business software for OS9 and OS9/68k. The market will come.
