"If you think a big entertainment expense for college students is going out to bars and partying with friends, you’re right. It is estimated that the average student spends at least $50 per month on beer alone"
and "professionals" do not have $79 for software, its not CS4 Master suite!

What happened was....They looked at there total downloads and saw over a million and said. Shit, If we charged $20 instead of giving it away we would have made a ton of money.
So then they said
If we only sell 10,000 copies of the pro at $20 each we will make $200,000. If we sell 10,000 copies at $39 each we will make $390,000 and if we only sell 5,000 copies at $79 then we will make $395,000.
As you can see these numbers are very conservative and since we have no overhead and only personal hours invested most of the sales would be pure profit.
It's time for change.

So what was it that the free version didn't have, aside from server version? iTunes sidebars?
