   Lol I got the whole marketing package for Neutrino after using that. I   
   worked on an early “smart” graphical telephone for hotels and businesses   
   using qnx as the os. When I was in high school we had UNISYS terminals   
   running qnx client server. “ICONS”.  Look that up for some interesting   
   history.
