Chuck concluded his message with:

"Your entire argument strikes me as unsupportable.  Sorry about that."

NO need to be sorry!  I thank everyone for their participation in this
discussion, as it HAS been enlightening.

I've been looking at software marketing and distribution from the "other"
end, some 25+ years of mainframe and mini background.  In that arena, it's
not unusual for a single copy of a software system to be licensed for $500K;
definitely NOT the high-volume consumer marketplace!  :-)

As has been made recently clear, it's going to require an "attitude adjustment"
(on my part) to enter the high-volume marketplace with new product.
