Where it will have no effect whatsoever.  You're simply not going to
be able to get them to devote fifty thousand bucks of development
and support time (probably an underestimate) just because a few
hundred people say they want a pony.

NVidia ship *hundreds of thousands* of chips every quarter.  A few
hundred (or even a few thousand) more indirect sales simply do not offer
them enough revenue at the margin to justify the development cost.

Quentin's proposal is a much more realistc path forward.
