A Philosophical Point

[simplsol at aol.com]

Let's not forget that many of Revolution's customers were HyperCard 
users - and many of us started x-cards with HypercCard, because it was 
free. I got my first copy free with an SE 30 I bought in 1987, have 
since bought hundreds of copies of HyperCard.

This all begs the real question: what is Revolution's target market - 
now that all the "low hanging fruit" (HC & MC users) are picked?

  We have at least one anecdotal data point in which the hobbyist was 
quite happy to use only the free version with narry a though about 
buying a license, and only after Rev discontinued the free version did 
he obtain one. 
 
  I used to believe the old free version was a good idea, but it's hard 
to argue with data like that. ;)
