Back in 2000, I was co-founder of a soon to be defunct tech startup company called Intrinsigo.  This was the twilight of the bubble.  We got just enough funding to get excited, develop a product, hire some people, buy a basement full of computers... and be seriously let down when investors realized that tech start-ups had to actually be profitable. 

Here was the Idea:  A content authoring tool for handhelds.  You know.  Like Authorware, but for handhelds.  We were targeting PalmOS and PocketPC.  We used XML.  We wrote a SAXish XML parser for the PalmOS.  We were ahead of the game. We got really close to being acquired. We met with Palm.  Lycos had drafted up a term sheet.  We were going to be rich. 

Well, Palm wasn't interested.  Lycos funded another startup instead.  Our angel investor went chapter 11.  I moved away from the big city.  I got married.  It was the best thing that ever happened to me.  But it left a product in limbo.

So now, I have this software.  It's aging rapidly.  I think it could be useful to someone. I actually think it could make some money, but I could care less about that.  Sometimes, I wish there was a thrift store for donating old software.   I'd like to port the VB6 authoring tool into dotnet, but I don't have the time.  Anyhow.  If anyone has any ideas.  Let me know.
