Well, after considering for a while and after reading what other 
people said, the new model doesn't seem so terrible. I'm sure my 
first reaction to the news was too dramatic and things will be okay. 
:-)

At first glance it looked pretty scary, but then finally I realized 
that it might not affect existing customers all that much. So I think 
there was no need for the boat analogy! Sorry about that.

(However, I do still strongly oppose the "Made with" screen idea. Not 
because I don't want to promote Rev, but the place for that is in the 
About box and ReadMe. The problem with the promo screen is that it 
makes your finished software, if you do shareware or commercial 
software, look less professional. And that doesn't help anyone.)

But I'd like to know, what to others think about the Studio edition? 
To me, it just doesn't seem useful to do other platforms without 
being able to edit. And if the ten-line Starter Kit is no more (?) 
then that would be even more true! Another interesting thing will be 
whether Mac Classic and OSX are the same platform or different as far 
as licensing and editing goes.

So, I'll stop yakking now and get to work!
