I have to say I'm one of the few that agrees with tasmanet. maybe you guys in the USA are all rich but I reckon I have to think very hard when spending more than 100 (UK pounds) on hobby software. Don't get me wrong, it's a great product and compared with Max and such like it's reasonably priced. But I have to compare it not just with other 3D software products but things like a new power drill, a band saw, some excellent bottles of wine and all the other things that compete for the money in my wallet. I also believe that if it were priced at less than 100 then many many more people would buy it and it would become the de facto standard. Curious Labs would probably make more by reducing the price and a decent bit of advertising than they do at the current price. Visual Basic has beaten most of the competition (even when the competition is much better) by being cheap.
