- And the 15% of a $5 program is only 75 cents. Now if you have
- a top-of-the-line program, that sells for $15, you can make
- $2.25 WHOOPEE :-)
-
- So to make a decent amount, they'd have to sell well in excess
- of 20,000 copies of your program. Perhaps do-able in a DOS
- oriented environment but surely not in this area.
