The point here is that the markets supply of products to accomplish what these products can accomplish is relatively low. Its true that the software can be duplicated at no cost, so "supply" in the "count of goods" function you're initially introduced to map to "cost of goods" is not what I'm implying here.
If the market's supply of these products was numerous, the demand for it would be relatively low. However new features not found in any other offering make the market's supply of such products relatively low, thus the demand is very high. In fact, I bet there are companies that would pay Adobe to _raise_ the prices, just to give their competition further barriers to entry.

Don't the rules of supply and demand change when the product does not really take any time to produce and the cost of production is minimal when compared to stamping out discs and printing boxes? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
