I talked to the RSI representatives (the guys who bring you IDL) this
last spring at a Solar Physics meeting in Baltimore. I wanted them to
port their stuff to a FreeBSD box. The response I got was that for the
price I paid for my machine (with the extra ram, the nice monitor and
the video card) I could darn near get a real workstation that is
supported by RSI.

That was hard to counter, I paid $5K at the time for my machine. I was
also led to believe if there was a market for it, they would probably be
willing to port their stuff to another platform. Are there many other
people out there interested in this, considering the large price tag
associated with IDL?
