OK. Since people really liked my "German way of explaining things" I'll go a step further.
Being from the U.S, I watch the news and see how our president (I voted for Kerry) stumbles and tries to explain things over and over again. usually, when you explin things over and over again, it means that:
1) You don't make sense.
2) The people that don't buy twhat you're saying.
You shouldn't have unveiled the cube until you had your discount calculator working and had the upgrade path together.
Next, I read the postings and see how most people are upset. They in theory are the in the 90% of people that are the "blue collared" workers that do the dirty work trying to hustle that indy film, doing a project for your local church or the commercial demo. If you have some kids, a mortgage, bills, student loans, a wife that wants to go out on vacation and now wants the new pair of shoes, to get charrged basically twice for close to the same thing would bother me also.
It's funny to read how 10% percent of people or the "Let Them Eat Cake" crowd doesn't seem to mind this. I'm sure this wouldn't hurt the John Powells or Jeff Ronas or James Newton Howards of the world, but the majority don't have it like that...yet.
So, in the spirit of diplomacy. I urge VSL to charge the same Holiday VIP price ($1,495) as an upgrade price for the full library or the equivelent of 1/3rd. That's Spectrasonics and every other company has done.
