No... You are not the only one that can support it... Other ppl can learn as
well as you (who develop the damn thing!) once they have the software...
What is a monopoly is make things in a OS that only works with a certain
browser and all those kinds of things we know some companies do.

Huh, that's interesting. Just for the sake of advocating Lucifer, that
sounds a bit connish (if that's a word). It's like, "Here, I'll give
you this great software for FREE, and once you're locked into it, I am
the only one who can support you, so I will charge you $500/minute for
support." And Microsoft is the one accused of having a monopoly.

Now I'm starting to see how I'm kinda like this already. I always put
"if not exist rcostanzo then exit" in all my code and then I tell
everyone that if I ever quit or get fired, everything I've done will
stop working. :P
Luckily where I work, no one knows anything already anyway, so I could
be there for life if I want.
