Fairly? Kind of like when there was only a MAC version and they had to port
it over to the PC side. Those kind of costs?

RE: lingo-l upgrade price

2002-11-30 Thread Thomas Higgins
All,

 You know, I just realized there's no osx/mac version of flash 
 comm. SO, being that the price is with a flash comm server,
 and that's only win, is it fair that both platforms be the same
 price?

1. Your upgrade price covers the cost of Director, extra apps are generally thrown in 
and MACR eats the cost.

2. Mac OSX users will get a Windows copy of Flash Communication Server too.

Cheers,
Tom

I wonder what the sales volume per platform is today.  Charted back in 
time, too.

Hey Tom - et al

Don't misunderstand; I _certainly_ think director is worth it - and am 
going to spew forth the upgrade price posthaste; but I guess what i'm 
trying to say is that if one is primarily an osx-native developer, the 
flashcomm server for win really does one no good. Plus, since I've got to 
buy the pc version, I'll have 2 versions of flashcomm; again running an 
osx server rather than win server, I wouldn't really use them (personally, 
although to be truthfull I'll probably set up a win dev server to play 
with).

Now, for those that do have a win server, is there a way to buy both 
platforms and get a say, 2 megabit or 20 max connection server rather than 
2 servers?

Any chance at any time of developing a unix flash comm server?
