Ted,
your thinking validates ( well at least tells me I'm not crazy ) my own
thinking. I bought the full 7.0 because I knew I would be using it a lot at
work, and doing work at home. ( Well that did not work the way I planned,
the work I did at my office was 6.0 and very little 7.0 ) I wanted to make
my 'vote' be as loud as possible. Now with the layoff I have to be careful
with the monies, but I still want to be legit.
As I am taking technical school classes right now I've even considered
getting the academic version. My understanding is that while it is a full
version, if I want to write app to give away ( e.g. FoxLint for 8.0 ) or
sell I really need to get an upgrade or full version.
Anthony
