Wow another Flex 1.0 survivor! I talked the company where I was working at
the time into the $12K/CPU price tag back in the early days and we did a
couple of slick things with it, but wow what a bitter pill to swallow when
they changed licensing models. (Looking back they've *never* handled the PR
around Flex changes well, so maybe last week shouldn't have come as a
surprise.)

I heard after the fact that the early high cost was to get customers to
fund the development while they decided if it had legs. Nice huh?
