And that is such a bummer.  I know, we can write a program that will
render a document in say postscript, convert it to tiff, email it to a
recipient where if they have the program they can run it through an OCR
program that will supply the original text.  Of course we will NOT open
source it but rather patent the process and begin selling it to windows
users.  

There are bound to be several million out there that would pay for such
a neat program.  When Microsoft calls and threatens to put us out of
business we will cave and sell for a few bucks.

Sorry, I feel like a smart ass tonight.
