Redevelopment price hike

Im glad to hear this. The new LB is coming along nicely now.

Isaac continues: "However Im a bit concerned. Ive seen this sort of "redevelopment" happen before, and often times it comes with a higher price tag. One of the strong points of LB I think is that it is truly useful but very inexpensive. I think youre the kind of person who realizes that though, so I have faith youll keep it affordable."

Well, youre right. Pricing is a marketing issue and it isnt always clear whether to raise or lower prices. I cant promise that I will never raise the price of Liberty BASIC (in fact Ive done it before) but I am committed to keeping it affordable. Many times I get feedback that LB is too inexpensive and that I should raise the price, so you see this is not a simple matter to determine.

Also remember that now we have a free BASIC (http://www.justbasic.com).
