The efficiency of the PC (oops! er, Mac) is practically without precedent since
the days of the first chipped-flint hand axe, so it is hard to get a handle on
what something like Revolution is "worth." It feels to me that it is worth at
least as much as the modest computer on which I run it. Together, the package
can be had for under a grand and - given talent and luck - can be used to
support a family. In the old days, a milk cow was the comparable capital
investment, today perhaps a studio-quality musical instrument. I can't afford
the MacroMedia packages, but I think they are more than "worth it" for someone
like my son-in-law, who makes a very good living with them. Revolution is the
Japanese motorcycle of development tools. I look out my window at the guys in
pickup trucks trying to make a living plowing snow and pounding nails. A
thousand bucks to set up your own contracting business? You gotta be kidding!
