It's not the price that bothers me - i don't pay for software, my customers do - it's the price difference.
As for this discrepancy being caused by demand... are you saying there's a much higher demand for flex in Europe than in the US? Nonsense. Part of the difference is caused by tax and a higher cost of doing business, but part of it is just MM sticking it to European customers plain and simple. They're not alone: pretty much every software product i can think of costs more in Europe than in the US. /t >-----Original Message----- >From: Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 5:23 PM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: Re: John Dowdell Wants to Know What's Wrong with Macromedia > >On Wed, 12 Jan 2005 14:24:29 +0100, RADEMAKERS Tanguy ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Here in Europe it's 14,000 EUR = ~18,000 USD.
