Right.  And with either a purchase of $995 or a free product, pros would pay
$995 and everyone else would use the free product.  But now, we have
Revolution Express - list $149 and currently on intro-offer at $75.  The
Starter Kit would cannibalize sales of that.  And it did not make a good
demo, it is less effective than a 30 day trial.  That isn't some kind of
theoretical debate, we have done our homework - 10 lines of code frustrated
a lot of people using the demo.
