Do you think it's bad marketing to charge so much for such a great product. I'm no bean counter, but if you priced Revolution in the $99.99 price range, wouldn't they sell a whole lot more copies and make more money in the process?
But what do I know. I just remember HyperCard at ... $65(?) back at MacWorld Boston '87. Haven't booted up the Mac in a year. OS/X and the boxes it runs on are real headaches in bugs and 3rd party compatibility issues, imho. Linux and Unix are obviously far more mature. Don't drop support for them. My mantra: If I could compute better on a piano, I'd use a piano!
