On the contrary, will be with approx 20 usd more expensive :))
well, teh last update or trial balloon of digital river had teh home box w/ live eval and everything else I think on one disk ( this is from memory and I've got a head cold to go w/ my migraine so I might not be 100% right, it would be 30$US for thaat version and teh Pro version which had all teh usual goodies except a live eval .... will be $89 US if they had the price right or we are picking up the dif from the home user, (G) OTH they didn't show anything about an upgrade or other usual things.. it wasn't a ready page and shouldn't hve been up live on the web. There was a live link to "pre order, I got out my Credit card and was ready to go , clicked on the add to basket... and that was it... no place to go further... Never ever turn away a customer willing to had you money right at that moment... bad form. They need to lose Digital River, they are not performing well at all, And these are the guy who caused problems last time round by , seemingly having built the site on IE only... none of the LInux browsers could see or do anything , like purchase... I htought I'd really messed up somewhere, sent a rocket up to Chris ( Come back , all is forgiven, honest! (G) ) HE got onto someone else from suse who said nope there was something really bizzarre happening.. they finally fixed it... but , as I've said to everyone I've emailed about that last triumph, get out my CC and cant buy it??? Why? Pre order means you pay and wait, right? I mean, "pre" used to mean before... rather than "I'll order it this evening and it'sll be here tomorrow, if I'm willing to pay the frieght charges" Besides It shouldn't have been a surprise that there would be another release in 6 months ... and they aren't that new to the biz that they should have been caught screwing up like this, imagine someone who has heard all these good things about linux, and especialy Suse.. and gee whiz, there's a cd in the box you can run it from w/o having to do anything at all to windows ( you just can't use your cd, but that's a little thing in the begining...) $30 wow, I'll get it and try it, my friends have it.. and when they find out how easy it is to use... they will do first a dual install and eventually decide that windows is taking up space they could use for something more important.... another one bites the dust! That is unbelievalbey cheap price for folks looking for an OS, windows upgrades are still way over 100$us, and they insist on all sorts of validation... THe new Cylon in the family had XP on it... and wouldn't let my husband even look at the desktop until he'd agreed to a Eula that couldn't actually be read! Pretty nifty trick.. but , since we knew it wasn't long for the bin, he agreeded, and once on the desktop had a horrified look and couldn't find out how to close the damned thing... Easy to get into and hard to get off... sums up the whole ooh ten minutes of life it had... Still can't et teh "helmet" to have a red light go back and forth when it talks but..... it does have cylon intro and exit now... guess I'll have to get the spfx guys to do the helmet light... hehe -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit it's just an afterthought; okay ? : Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
