Now, I'm just a dumb grunt who uses Outlook, but hasn't this been done over
and over again with Unix?  That is, it was written to run on a specfic
system way back around the time I was wearing diapers, and was ported to
newer generations of software.

So . . aside from a lack of interest, is anything *really* keeping an
interested Linus Torvalds/R. Stallman wannabe from porting Multics to the
x86 and/or Sparc platforms?

Be kind, I'm simple about this stuff.
