Exactly! When my students (who are using HC for their class -- on air
apparently but not on Quadras fortunately) ask for something HC-like for
the PC, I direct them to MC/Rev. Their response on seeing the pricing
structure falls into one of two categories -- (a) they laugh and say that
it's definitely not happening or (b) I'll check with my hacker friends for
a crack.
The latter is probably not something in Rev's best interest, nor is the
former (not buying it at all but, as some have actually done, buying
instead an old Mac and appropriating HC from the lab).
