   And thats the failure in the original proposition. The manfacturer doesnt   
   create the market. The manufacturer senses the market and merely answers the   
   call. Since there is no market for what you propose, what is the cost/benefit   
   analysis that justifies    
   the ROI necessary to build it in the first instance?   
      
   Think about this. When NASA wants to build a moon rocket, NASA designs it,   
   then asks for bids to build it. Thats the market. The possible manufacturers   
   then analyse the NASA request, compute the ROI, and come up with a schedule   
   and price to deliver the    
   product.   
      
   As you were told on IBM-MAIN when you proposed adding AMODE 32 to the   
   mainframe, there was no market to justify the investment by IBM, and so your   
   RFE was declined.
