SOP in any market, although Adobe makes it worse. Most people that buy those high-end / expensive products use only those features that would be found in the less expensive products. Those markets depends on the supidity of their customers to survive. There are a few people, probably 1% of the market, that actually use/need the "advanced" features. Of course, if the market was actually targetted to just them, they'd never buy the software as it would cost 10billion quatloos per copy at those volumes. MS Word vs AppleWorks, heck... MS Word vs TeachText is a great example. heh. I ran into an interesting marketing coup the other day. A new Mac user that was perfectly happy with the cheaper product, MS Works (not sure of the product name) on his Windoze laptop, absolutely insisted the only equivalent was full-on MS Office ($400 ?) on his new Mac. He was SHOCKED to see what Pages and *cough* NeoOffice could do. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
