    what a great idea, and has the potential to pull $10m in a year or so. engineers everywhere should be pursuing these projects. So many businesses are running on "legacy" platforms. Glance over the costco customer service desk , they're still using some cobol dos inventory system.

    Clone it with cheaper tools, and win the next $100m / yr contract from costco at half the price. There are 100k opportunities out there right now.
