I'm tending to agree. It's certainly a bold move. Reminds me in a way of Borland and his breakthrough $99 selling price years ago. I don't know if these folks are the first to come up with this particular approach - don't think I've heard of it being used elsewhere, but maybe it has. It would be hard to duplicate, though. At least in my position. I can't really give away a DOS copy of my product - it was sooo long ago and so inferior that I really can't in good conscience even consider it. The current VFP rendition has older versions, but the dynamics (e.g. it does automatic software updates from the net) are such that it's fluid and there is no pointing back to a frozen version. Maybe that's just the nature of database versus video recording products.
