Trivial aside:  The husband and wife team that developed "The $25 Network"
wrote a very entertaining history about how they developed it which 
appeared in Micro Cornicopia about one year ago.  Although Micro C is
no longer with us, anyone who dreams of starting their own garage software
company would do well to track down that piece first.

Regarding the $25 price, they had a quote that went roughly:
"Everyone keeps telling us we can't make any money selling software
for $25.  As soon as someone proves that to us, we'll be happy to
give all the money back."  (Or something to that effect.)
