Yeh, I'm sure sorry to hear about this new price too. I just spent

a copy.

Question is - was/is it worth the $375 - if so be happy. If it is not,
why did you buy it?

Gary should be happy, as you say. Free updates for a whole year now,
instead of only 6 months.


Good luck to the guys who are getting it cheap, but remember that you
eventually get what you pay for in software.

If this were really true, it would be easy to buy good softwa just
pick the most expensive! But, I sit here using Netscape 7.1, a free
browser, email client, and web page composer that is at least the equal
to IE 6 and Outlook Express, and without so many security issues.
Mozilla 1.6 is even better, and just as free. And look at how many
corporations use Linux.

It still costs time/money
to develop this stuff. YOu can discount to buy market share, or be
chaeper because you live in a low cost location, but there are limits.

Aye, and that's the rub: just where are those limits? We won't know
until people stretch them a little, will we?

So if the price becomes too low to support - especially in a fragmented
market, people start leaving, or stop developing...

True in general, but in this _particular_ case, can we say $250US is too
low? With Strepla's and CU's entry into the market, I suggest they think
not. And after CU's success with their flight display software, I
suspect it isn't.
