I will not be a first supporter of Rebel products again. Why should we, if we don't buy it maybe the price will drop to $10. I think I will hold out for that price next time before I buy any Rebel software again. I was buying Rebel EOC, but not now. When I see the price drop to $10 for Rebel EOC. Then I will buy it. It cost about $60 now, but in a few weeks I'm sure it will be down to $10. >Robert Ericsson >Owner of Rebel 9 (not Rebel 10)
