OK, then substitute me. I can fully relate to the story Dan posted as I basically used exactly the same logic when I upgraded from REV Express (free at the time) to REV DreamCard (may not have been called DreamCard) and then to REV Studio. REV Express disappeared and I was pretty ticked off at not having a 'free' version for hobbiests to 'play with'. I even emailed REV and let them know what I thought. But to put it into perspective, I 'play with' trains, and I spend more annually on model trains than REV. I enjoy cycling, and spend more on my bike annually than I do on REV. See my recent post - subject REV vs Visual Basic - on how I use REV to support my cycling. I enjoy computers, and whilst I LOVE Perl, MySQL and other freebies. I still spend more annually on computer hardware and software (excluding REV) than on REV alone. Then again children do form a large part of the software expenditure pie (games). So, I'm never going to make money out of my trains (apart from a few sound investments), my bike, or from REV. Although I still hope that one day I'll actually script something that is useful to someone else. Please feel free to 'check up' my story. I'd love to send you a photo of my Live Steam engine or my new road bike;-) _______________________________________________ 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
