I remember when I owned a GEM Genesys for 3 months about 5 years ago, I bitched to the rep (Dave McD?) about certain shortcomings of the OS on such an expensive unit. When I finally told him I was going to trade it back to the dealer, he angrily told me that they had been working on a custom OS for me, but since i was being so disloyal,screw me. I don't know if he was full of crap or sincere, but the idea they could create a custom OS for me was mind-boggling.

As i recall that incident now (why now? frustration with mfrs as I research alternatives to my E60) I'm thinking: well, if it's possible for a company to create a custom OS it can't be that expensive or Dave wouldn't have offered it (if it was true)

And if a mfr can do it, can an independent programmer do it? Can somebody take my E60 OS
and reprogram it so the existing buttons and
dials function in more useful ways for me?
And if so, what would they charge? And maybe
there are others out there who would take advantage of this and maybe this could be a nice little business for someone with the know-how to accomplish this....?????
