yes, and my point was precisely that there is a need for and a market
for software which caters for people outside the 95-105 group - at both
ends of the spectrum (although, obviously, i'm far more interested in
the upper end).

i wasn't arguing that no software should be written for the majority,
it's a given that most software WILL be written for them - i was arguing
that requiring ALL software to be written for their needs is wrong.
