Please don't get me started on software prices. That's another thorn in my side, LOL!. I wanted to buy a program this year called SiteGrinder ( a Photoshop plug-in). So I stopped all my model purchases for a month in order to buy it. When I had enough I went to the site to make my purchase only to find that the price had gone up $100. It wasn't even a major revision. They just decided they wanted more for it and bumped the price up. Needless to say they ended up losing a sale and I now just continue to use Photoshop the way I always have.
