If after spending 10 hours actually in Dreamcard, you are not ready to part
with $99, I doubt that providing a longer trial is going to help.

On the contrary, the company has been around for 8 years, thousands of
customers use Revolution every day.  Like any good company of any size we do
market research from time to time, and the only way to get really good data
is to carefully monitor changes as you make them.  The changes over the last
year have all been in the same overall direction, as we implement the road
map that started when we completed our acquisition of the engine technology
early last year.

Kind regards,
