Oh, distributors always say things like that. I'm convinced they're just selling soap, and don't have a grasp on the technical value / price ratio. All they see is "How many of these can I sell, and if the price was a little higher, I could make more money!" I would welcome any evidence to the contrary.

It is a good point that distributors and dealers prefer to sell a higher priced package over a lower priced package … and hence the magazines like them better too because the companies tend to be richer and spend more for advertising etc etc. In the case of Southern Technologies, though, I think Eddie Churchill has about as good a grasp on what products are worth in the Amiga market as anyone, at least anyone I know- …cheath

Oh, I was going to hold up Eddie as an example of just how blind buyers could be. Eddie is still mad because I didn't make InterChange into a program that exchanged spreadsheet files. When I first told him about InterChange, that's what he wanted it to be, and swear to gawd, every single time I talk to him, he tells me it's not selling because I'm not exchanging word processor and spreadsheet formats. He's also told me that Turbo Silver comes with a program to exchange objects with Sculpt 3D (it doesn't). He doesn't know the difference between an ANIM and the object in an ANIM. Don't get me going about Eddie. 🙂

Say, John, why don't you exchange spreadsheets? I'd love to be able to do a 3D rotation of my accounts recievable. What is the difference between an ANIM and an object in an ANIM anyhow? (No, no, nevermind C-:) …cheath
