Well, yes, because I think it costs the company nothing and has the potential to bring in a certain class of users who are now or would likely be scared witless by something that involved diving into "scripting" right off the bat and that didn't have a bunch of pre-builts (aka templates). I think it may well end up being the seductive agent for the PowerPoint crowd and is priced accordingly. Now they just need to get it noticed... This doesn't, however, mean that I am happy to see DC go away. > For what it's worth I started with Rev Express way back when.

Yes, I started back when it was MetaCard for the Mac. Same 10-line limitation for the free version, only a vastly uglier interface. I still don't understand people's unhappiness with the 10-line limited FREE version. I mean, I'm supremely irritated that I've spent the better part of three days searching for a whatever-crippled Bryce demo... I am happy to pay to the extent I can to support keeping the product (Rev) alive and growing. FWIW, I have purchased personal copies above and beyond what I've been able to get the university to buy for me. > If programing is in your blood then the 'intrinsic' quality will be > different for everyone.
