[Coco] Glenside IDE Hard Drive Interface --- HOW-TO

[Mark Marlette]

Manny,

No offense and I'm not inflamed.

I just wanted to let you know why the pricing is what it is.

Situations are different for each. I on the other hand think the  
pricing is very good compared to the number of hours it takes to  
create these programs and the net return. It is a passion, not a get  
rich or retire early scheme. Volume speaks hear, sell more then you  
can lower the price.

Boisy and I spent a WHOLE summer of our time debugging and testing  
SuperDriver and the SuperIDE interface. We had some heated  
conversations but in the end it was all worth it.

Points noted.

Regards,

Mark
