That is awesome, somewhere I've got a pretty printer I developed for TurboPASCAL. I tried to sell all the rights to Borland in exchange for a enough cash to buy a decent oscilloscope (I have a history of 'consulting for toys' :-)and they weren't going for it. In hindsight (much later) I realized I should have set the price really high, let them try a demo with a non-refundable deposit of 10% of the price, and then feigning sadness when they decided not to proceed :-)
