True, of course, but looking at things as they are today a lot of my
tax dollars are long gone into the pockets of the contractors and NSA
people who did the design. A commercial product not using Clipper is
at a disadvantage from the get-go. Seems to me this is already true,
and short of exploiting the "investment gap" created in the Clipper
project by the inherent waste and inefficiency of Government-driven
projects, it'd be tough. Certainly, there's a tremendous marketing
problem (which, I realize, our evangelism might help ameliorate).
