Studio License Renewal Cost

[Brian Yennie]

I agree with some of your points previously, but are you really saying 
that you can take a couple of local night school classes and suddenly 
become so proficient in C++ or Basic that you have no need for 
Revolution? C++ takes years of experience, and will never give you the 
kind of RAD development that you probably chose Rev for. REALBasic may 
be a closer analogy, but still... if it wasn't a better choice before, 
it's not going to become one from $200 worth of night classes. If that 
were the case, why not just download REALBasic and run through the 
tutorials with a free trial, and so on?
