Thank you for the additional info Jerry... I'm almost ready to grab my wallet, I think. ;-) But first, let me make sure I understand this fully. In a nutshell: The $89 special gives the user 1 year of the service, plus a Mac editor for both Rodeo and Transfer if they own the hardware. The Rodeo editor version is or will be capable of producing either or both native X-code and webkit applications. Without the proper hardware, the user still has access to Transfer, which has a somewhat limited web based editor (Safari/Chrome) that can be used regardless of the hardware platform. No such option exists for the Rodeo side of the equation. (?) > You can get Rodeo with Transfer for $89 (for another 16 hours) and be able to > copy your >HTML from the Rodeo editor. That would seem to be a reasonable solution for >you. Other than making sure the rest on my understanding is correct, that is the only *real* question I have left... did you really mean to say that Rodeo (not Transfer) also has a web based editor that can be used without Apple hardware? -- -- -- In either case, for the $89 special, webkit based apps can be built and hosted from the Rodeo servers for a period of one year before requiring a renewal. The only end-user requirement for the hosted webkit apps is a webkit based (Safari/Chrome) browser... which means that in theory, they should be functional on any platform that has the correct browser. Hopefully I haven't butchered that too badly with my present understanding...
