I'm in the same boat too. I could use Media, except for the lack of database support... If you need database support, you had better go Studio. > If the answer is "Studio," then an editorial follows.

I'm in Australia and 199UK Pounds is a LOT of money for me and my small business. Especially when you consider Dreamcard met my needs perfectly. I don't doubt that Studio is worth 199UK. I'm just complaining that I need to buy Studio when Dreamcard is doing me just fine! > I can't spend the rest of my life chasing ever new and more complex > technology, just so I can run a fairly simple sole-proprietor > business.

We must be the demographic that just got overlooked. -- Rishi Viner -------------- Australia _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
