The problem is obvious: You're counting on Yahoo for your storefront.

Come on, guys... You're a big enough outfit you can afford to do your 
own store site instead of throwing money at Yahoo for it.

A note for future reference:
The fact that Metrowerks is using a Yahoo storefront was, all by itself, 
enough to put me off of actually ordering the Pro6 update I've been 
considering. I want as little to do with that bunch of ad-splattering 
<BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP>s as possible. I'm more than willing to do 
business with Metrowerks, but when it comes to handing Yahoo so much as 
a penny of my money, even indirectly... Well, let's just say I'd rather 
shave my head using a rusty cheese grater, in a rubbing alcohol shower, 
while chewing on tinfoil.

Do you get the idea that I disapprove of Yahoo? Good. That's the point.
