When I was your age, it was hard for me = to get the things I wanted. I found that doing yard work around the = neighbourhood not only helped, it led to a small part of my tuition 5 = years later to college. However, having said that, I feel Euphoria is a steal at $29.95 for such = a powerful language with a strong user community. That's roughly 3 weeks = of $10 you mentioned. Hardly a setback in the goal to get a new CD-ROM. = THe only way Euphoria could be any better is if RDS gave it away for = free, which would be business suicide for RDS and a short lived = existance for Euphoria. I suggest you think it over again and put the money towards a good thing = :) David Gay ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Paul Kerslake=20 To: EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU=20 Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2000 11:45 PM Subject: Knew it wouldn't last..... When I downloaded Euhporia and saw the word register, I knew it = wouldn't last. Not to mention the $29.95 cost is, how shall I say, way = out of my range. I'm 15 I don't have a summer job and $10 a week isn't = going to cut it. Not to mention I desperatly need a new CD-ROM which = will cost me big. 4x don't work. So, I'm -sigh- not going to order the full version any time soon. I = really hate to say that. But, I will get it eventually. So some = questions about the full version: 1. Will the full version somehow increase mr programming skills. 2. Can I make independant .EXE files and send them to my friends. 3. How much is it. Y'see, if it's $400, a la C++ or visual or whatever, forget it. That's = insane.=20 I will be back......soon -Shine on you crazy diamonds...... ------=_NextPart_000_0035_01C0024D.CB1D3440 charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4134.600" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Greetings Paul.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I can understand your situation.
