Hello John,

Subscription models for software seem to be an almost necessary evil.
Evil, because nobody wants to carry on paying for something every
year.

And necessary because the number of glider pilots is limited and the
only way that a software developer can stay in business and develop
software is to charge a subscription or annual licence fee. It may be
that EURO 49 is a bit high for us but in Europe, gliding seems to be a
little more up-market and perhaps people are prepared to shell out a
bit more.

Personally, I think that we're fortunate to have something as good as
SeeYou and it is worth supporting. Perhaps if they had limited the
trial or free options, then more people would have bought the program
and the subscription would be less.

It's a tricky call either way.
