We're not turning a blind eye. We're doing our
best to free the rest of the world too.

It's very difficult. There aren't a lot of tools
available.

Wrong. I'm not claiming that a standard is or
isn't useful to anyone besides me. I have no
idea. I just know that at a minimum one person
wants it. Absolute bare minimum.

You are the one making the claim that no-one else
in the entire world now or in the future will ever
have a use for a standardized API for small
computer systems. So the burden of proof is on you.

Good luck proving a negative. You'll be the first
person in history.

Sorry, you're the one making wild claims, not me.

Burden is on you.
