Pricing / entry cost for this tool

[Judy Perry]

Perhaps the market was already saturated for this type of tool in that
given environment?

I regret that I didn't have a chance to ever work with LiveMotion (was
there a Mac version available??? I seem to recall seeing a box in the
department's SysAdmin's office, but when I inquired it was PC-only  and I
don't think even my PC-using colleage ever did anything with it, which,
of course, has n o bearing on the usefullness of it).
