Ken,
I too paid $999.00 and now pay $499 to upgrade each year and consider
it a bargain. I not only doubled my salary but also started my own
business (no profits yet ;-) ) and get to pursue this as a hobby as
well. What a deal. AND now I get to play with Robots too.

You have two products for two different markets.
We educators/hobbyists would like dreamcard to be distributed for
free across the world. Professionals like Richard, Chipp and Ken and
others are worried about keeping their competitive advantage and have
the tool remain expensive and relatively unknown (at the very least
maintain the existence of a cost of switching via the license fee and
time to learn).
As Richard stated his position on this, I'll state mine as well.
I'm not
concerned about competitive advantage at all, and won't be until
RunRev
becomes as popular as JavaScript (one of my hopes!). :-)
Personally I don't think of Rev as a $99 tool (even without standalone
building capabilities). It's worth far more to me than that. Ten
years ago,
I saw it as a $995 tool (which is why I bought into it then), but
that was
when other tools of its ilk were as high priced. Personally I see
it as a
$595 tool (or maybe $495) - expensive enough that the profit
margins are
high so that more money can be spent on further development. At
$99, there
is very little profit margin relative to potential support issues,
IMHO.
But since I'm not running the company, it doesn't matter. :-)
Regardless of my *feelings* on this, I would like everyone to know
about
Revolution, which is why I have personally trained a handful of
people on
the product, and have evangelized it to everyone I know.
