However, it was Alex. of Slovakia. 8-) I'm hanging around on the
Pegasus list because, just like my Russian namesake, on the whole I
admire Pegasus while acknowledging its deficiencies when compared to
The Bat. (Main deficiencies being no multilinguality and no
templates.) What I admire most of all in Pegasus is the fact that it's
free; this is no accident, but the designer's, David Harris's
philosophy. The philosophy is marvellously described in the short
"About Pegasus History" article located in Pegasus's Help menu.
I'm still reeling from the loss of the 35 dollars I had to pay for The
Bat here in Slovakia. I could have bought 70 (yeah, seventy) full
menu lunches for the money here. Or I could have paid my rent for six
weeks.
I wonder if any American or Englishman on the list would have paid 35
dollars for The Bat if you could buy a full menu lunch in the U. S.
for just 50 cents, as in the 1930s?
It's un-Christian of RITlabs to fail to offer substantial discounts to
fellow Bolshevism-stricken Eastern Europeans. ;-(( It's the good ol'
Bill Gates strategy that RITlabs are employing here in Slovakia: set
American prices for Slovakia, being content with the fact that most
people, instead of buying your program, will steal it. That's what
most Slovaks do: they crack The Bat instead of buying it.
