Pricing / entry cost for this tool

[Mathewson]

In BULGARIA, coffee cost anywhere between 10 - 30 cents a
cup:
however the average family income (i.e. Mum and Dad
working) come to about $100. The average family are unable
to save.

However, this is wandering seriously OT.

Capitalism (a loose-fitting sort of economic something that
Bulgarians, along with a lot of other East Europeans,
thought was a better bet than Communism) does not take
prisoners, nor does it hand out free candy. Therefore the
discussion about pricing of Runtime Revolution should not
take the price of coffee in Bulgaria into account.

For nations who have not got their act together - And
Bulgaria is a serious case in point of a nation of
asset-srippers who have wasted just about every chance that
was presented to them by the collapse of Communism - there
is the Free version of RR for Linux. I have already
introduced a few students at the technical University to
RR-Linux and flung Ubuntu disks at them.

It is perfectly possible to make standalones for all
supported platforms using the RR-Linux 2.2.1 underwritten
by Novell: I have no sympathy there.

Ultimately, however much RR decide to charge for their
product rest with them. At least, unlike many other RADs,
there is a FREE version.

What is more to the point should be a discussion as to how
to pursuade citizens of the nations that sponge, nations
that have dug their own holes, and so forth, to get into RR
and learn how to use it, and contribute via this list and
the other normal outlets. 

If a drug-dealer gets kids hooked on FREE narcotics then he
can charge what he likes: it is an unpleasant parallel -
but not entirely inaccurate.  Just at present I'm lurking
in dark alley-ways pushing Ubuntu disks - what are you
pushing?

sincerely, Richmond
