Is any software worth $1000.00 per copy when there are millions of copies being sold. The simple fact, as I see it, is the prices are artificially exagerated so people can make immense profits and keep others from creating something that might compete with the product.

Hunger sucks.

If you can't afford the tool, find a different way to express your art. Writing HTML code is cheap. Clay is cheap. Paper and pen are cheap.
