Right-on!  There's a couple of folks who seem to find fault with just about
everything that RightBrain does.  What's wrong with a little surprise fun in an
app?  If you don't agree with the price, don't buy it.

And Jeff's recent complaint about sexist ads seems pretty weak also.  I really
don't find a woman with a green right eye and brown left eye holding a French
horn in Chromagrafx' PixelMaster ad in NeXTWORLD to be a particularly sexist
ad.  Maybe Chromagrafx was just demonstrating how PixelMaster could change eye
colorings :-)
