Depends on audience size, expectations of further resales, and how long it
takes me to get a few particulars ironed out.  Questions, several of which,
I asked the other day and for which I received no answers.

If only 2-3 people want it though, I mean, I shouldn't even bother.  It'd
take me a day or two to get it ironed out to the point I'd be satisfied it
was stable, and for $60, that's less than one hour of working for someone
else.  IOW, not worth the effort.

The only way it might be worth it to me if there's no bigger audience is
in the educational experience of gluing networking into a GUI.  I've done
GUI, I've done networking.  I haven't mixed the two--yet.  I intended to
do that with a project I was going to call Wall4Win.  That project would
be pretty much a client on every Windows system that stays hidden until
any of the systems it modifies receives a UDP broadcasted system message.
Basically, 'wall' for Windows.  Why is that desirable?  I know a lot of
systems (especially as people take everything to browser-based use) where
nobody's logged in, and it would be nice to just get a desktop message
rather than have to phone or walk around the office telling everyone the
system is going down for 5-30min for whatever reason--and again when it's
back up.  You'd just use a client to take the message and do the broadcast
to all registered listening machines.  And the broadcasting software could
be a CLI/GUI combo--if you supply -m message_file it would just broadcast
that message, but if you don't specify that argument, you'd get a GUI
text editor with a "Send" button.  I had it planned enough that I learned
UDP at one point, and I still have my networking code here.  I just haven't
mixed it with the GUI UI.  Transmission is no problem.  Listening is
another issue entirely, but I believe I know what I need to do, besides a
little bit more reading.  :)

Theoretically, either could be the rough framework for the other.  I could
more or less get two applications for the price of one and a third or so.  
But I'm not sure I'll actually do either.  No idea on the demand for
Wall4Win, and still no feedback really on the image viewer.  I hate
developing on spec in a virtual vacuum, then praying it will sell.

I dunno, what do you think the image viewer should sell for?  (Now that's
always a leading question...)
