In truth Don, this is really a mystery because when you say _all_ I know this is not an overstatement. As far as I can determine every single Beta Tester told them they were too High! After talking to one of their most High Profile Beta Testers on the Phone about this I was told that he too thought it was too high. I made a few more calls and did some E-Mailing around and literally every Beta Tester that I knew told them the same thing. Yet…and here's the really big tip-off on how they respected this market….When I called them and spoke to Xaos Directly Prior to the release of the product while it was still in Beta just after they announced to us the Beta Testers what the pricing structure was they denied that they had heard any other Beta tester tell them that the pricing was out of wack! I told em', you told em' and so did the other Beta's I talked to. Denial Much! <BG> Well….enough Bashing on Xaos, I hope they can recover and get their act together. I'd really like to see more software from them. But only at reasonable prices. I heard you were pretty busy. I'm Glad! You've contributed so much it's gratifying to see you fully employed! <BG> Murph'
