I merely asked an honest question about why this company 
breaks the standard accepted practice by having this sliding 
scale, for various printers. I have not yet received an answer why 
this is so. I am open to there being a reason. Until I do, it just 
makes me hesitate a bit.

How about this:

Photoshop7Consumer (limit of 30meg file) $199
Photoshop7ProSumer (limit of 100meg file) $399
Photoshop7Pro (no file limit) $699

Wouldn't you wonder too?

And for that matter, from my limited perspective, why should 
software that's print-only be four times the price of Photoshop 7? 
Is the code THAT much more complex than PS7?

At some point, Adobe found a price point that that knew that large 
volumes of graphics pros would jump in the pool. I just say that 
ColorByte has not found that point yet.

And they're also talking to people on this list, and the 9000 list, 
who have been promised the moon before. We are, Thank God, 
a skeptical bunch.
