I buy from Germany where our exchange rate is far preferrable compared to USA. I often receive these European programs just before they get to the USA stores. Feel free to EMail me if you wish to know website details. On the rest of your post, I sort of agree except: Programmers need to make a living & have only a fixed market. They must somehow entice us to buy whole programs not just engines. This is not a drill that sells by the million from thousands of stores. This is a luxury computer toy we are purchasing.
