Greg,

This is a nice wish list, but everyone is going to have their own
"pet" feature they'd like added. I'd rather see maximum effort put 
into only one feature. IMHO, the first feature on the list must be:

	- Installable on standard PC hardware

Once that's complete, the other features will follow as necessity
dictates.

Just my $.02 worth...

Doug
