I meant that we are NOT going to sell non-copy protected versions of JMan.
Every copy must be personalised, or it isn't shipped.  This is our way of
protecting our investment.  (Don't try to convince me that there is not
any illegal coping of software in the Amiga market.  It is just as bad as
the IBM/Mac markets.)

The key issue is that producing a program like Animation:Jourenyman is years
of work.  It is hard to put a price on it.  It is normal for us to try to
protect our investment.  If we just wanted to make a fast buy, maybe we would
sell it cheap and fast, but instead we are trying to build a real market with
some holding power.  That is we have a lot of plans of where to go to next.
Animation:Jouneryman 1.3 is by no means the end.  Also we will continue to
support the Amiga market.  As we use Amigas ourselfs.
