honestly, $400 dollars isn't that big of a hit......if you are a big company.

But I'm not.....but, I really like the program. For myself, I do a lot of little stuff with it. I liked the plant care package. I like the program BUT do find it developing more and more quarks that I would like fixed.

So, is $400 dollars a lot of money considering I can make that in one design easily.....no. But, for a small company like myself, yes, 400 dollars is a lot.

Lets see, fuels up, plants prices are up, vehicles cost a lot, equipment needs repair, brick prices are up, insurance is up, blah, blah, blah. At the end of the year, that $400 dollars gets thrown in with the rest of the bills and you know what.....that bill starts to hurt.

Basically, just getting beat up on for being small guy. Suppose I shouldn't even need such a program. Maybe I'll go back to my old intellicad (which worked quite well) and call it a day. Then I can price my jobs a little bit lower while everyone else is going higher to cover their software upgrades. May just be the way to go.

Bottom line, I'm starting to trim the 'fat' from my budget.....and a $400 dollar upgrade charge to is not something I can see working into a budget. I will run the program until it breaks, and guess I can live withour all the bell's and whistles.
