Script Limits and Starter Kit

I, also, used the starter kit for awhile before buying a license.  I 
actually did plan to build a project with the starter kit, but the 10 
line script limit was just too big of a hassle to do a proper job. 
And I got far enough into it, that I knew I liked it.  So I bought it.

My philosophy as a developer, when I create software that I hope 
folks will buy, is never to take it away so that they will delete the 
program and move on.  I limit functionality, as MC/Rev have done so 
far, but allow a very basic version to continue on forever.  It's 
hard to say what would happen were I to change this philosophy.  But 
logically, I believe it is the best philosophy.

I know that programs I download, if they work 20 times and stop, get 
deleted, and do not get downloaded again.  I have NEVER purchased 
shareware that just stopped functioning.  I may not buy it 
immediately.  But if it stays on my computer, and gets used, there is 
a chance I will buy it eventually.  I have programs I will be 
purchasing this year, that fall into this category.  Only reason I 
haven't purchased yet, is Mac changing from PPC to OSX, and I need to 
get the OSX versions of these programs, so that I do not have to 
purchase twice.  My migration from PPC to OSX has been a slow one.
