That may very well be the case. But lets not forget that for $299, you get  
a fairly nice GUI front end (PBMPLUS is something only a commandline  
hacker would love :-) which makes the software very easy to use, and you  
also get a commitment by Bacchus to support the product. For many, that is  
not a high price to pay for something that will help them get works done  
without having to learn a bunch a command line parameters (or having to  
work from the command line for that matter).

If you don't like the price and you are happy with PBMPLUS, no one is  
forcing you to pay $299 for a copy of PixelMagician.

customer (yet). However, I have tried the PixelMagician demo and chatted  
with the nice people from Bacchus at NeXTworld Expo '92.
