- Well, no Waldensoftware around here. :(

- Yeah, but you don't have to buy much on the Mac platform to get to $300.00
- either! :) Seriously, I understand that the market (may) be smaller (I've
- been watching the Mac shelves. Dust.) but if the customer is willing to
- wait for the store to order it, and also is willing to pay mailorder +
- shipping prices, where's the problem in makeing a bit of profit off of that?
- The next shippment is going to come in anyway, and I don't see the phone
- call eating up all the profit.
-
- BTW, that's just my regular budget. The + is what I overspend on that budget.
- After the first of the year that figure is going to go WAY up with hardware and
- software, as I'm helping one of the other programmers I work with to get a
- Video Toaster and do some custom video work. Ever see how much you can make
- from just the Fonts for a toaster?
