Sorry, you are way off base here. Most PD software comes from end-users who in reality are "professional programmers" who don't wish/expect to make a dime off of their efforts. BESIDES, aren't I (an end-user who uses his ST to write programs for enjoyment) a valued customer???? Aren't my CUSTOMER needs important??? Your attitude really bothers me. (Someone posted the suggestion that Atari follow Next's example when they introduce the TT, and package GCC and utilities with each machine; that would be a SMART move. I won't hold my breath...)
