Hi Edward, I really didnt' mean to pick on the Penello people, they make a great product. This pricing roller-coaster is a trend I've seen with alot of companies lately. I've got lots of software on my shelf that sells for 1/3 of the price I originally paid. There's no problem with making a mistake and correcting it later. Just make sure you don't rake your existing customers over the coals in the process. You can't have it both ways or it becomes a lose/lose situation. While I don't always agree with Autodesk, the one thing I do respect is that 3D-Studio has always been 3K, period. Other companies like Adobe follow a similar tact. These are professional tools, and along with well thought-out code comes well thought-out pricing and upgrading policies as well. Yost Ipas disks have always been $300. There's no legitimate "secret" back-door I know of that gets you near-free copies, and no way of shmoozing an employee of these companies out of a licensed copy. If a company values its own products, it shows in the way it does business and treats its customers. Whoops, there I go ranting again. 🙂 -Heinz.
