   The market for pure 16-bit 8086 operating systems that   
   will potentially inspire pure 32-bit operating systems for   
   a theoretical 32-bit processor that has 32-bit segment   
   registers?   
      
   I'm pretty sure no-one in that market is actually going to   
   be paying me, if that's what you mean.   
      
   But if they did pay me, what would I use the money for?   
   I can go to Bondi any time I want, for free, other than   
   the train ticket (done via Opal) and turn from white to   
   red in 10 minutes, and get skin cancer. But that's even   
   more pointless than competing with MSDOS 5. So   
   what's left to spend the money on?
