More fP sockets pricing insanity

[Nancy Palmquist]

Guys,

Mark, although your pricing was a little high, look at this for a user 
that wants to develop a single user application that needs a socket.  I 
write my fab application and now I want to sell it.

I will need:

1 single user runtime - $95.
5 user socket license - $975

Total cost for my runtimes: $1070.  That is before I add any profit to 
pay for my time and trouble.

I think that prices it right out of the market.  Now if I could pay 
maybe $25/user for sockets, you might have a marketable possibility.

I think the per user cost for ODBC - much more powerful in capability - 
is only $35.

I have not even mentioned the user issue for normal stuff.  Don't get me 
started.

fpTechnologies insists on keeping the image that they are old-fashioned 
and out of step with the industry and who am I to make those descisions, 
I am insignificant.  (What I really am, is a good representation of a 
filePro developer trying to market applications written in filePro and 
the issues and conserns that entails.  I think that makes me a bit 
unique because most customers are single companies, in-house developers 
or custom installations.)

Sorry I just could not help myself with the pity party stuff.

Nancy
