Yes, absolutely.


I've been hooked by DESIGN.  I downloaded the demo version, and I think it's
fantastic, and I am going to get the real thing, all because the demo happened
to be posted.

Perhaps we need a new newgroup, like mod.mac.binary.sources.commercial.demos...

QUESTION--->  I thought I saw somewhere that a patch for the demo version
              upgrading it to the real thing would cost $40.  Now I can't
              seem to find any such message.  Am I hallucinating?
              It would be nice, since the latest issue of MacWorld has Design
              going for $200, which seems to reinforce my hallucination
              suspicion.
