They got it to working prototype stage, I think, but didn't end up taking it commercial. It's too bad – a cool idea. I'd love to have one.

That looks very useful and easy to sell. I wonder why your friend didn't proceed if he/she already had a working prototype.

Heck, I'd buy it for my desk even without any of the GUI tools if it allowed me to display from a list of quotes.
