Re: "It may serve your immediate purposes to keep things as they are,
but that's a bit selfish and unrealistic, don't you think?
Nope. I think "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
I also agree with what Dingo said. If Tomasz is happy and his
customer base is happy and he's not into empire building, why
shouldn't he just keep the business model "as is"?
I'm pretty new to Amibroker (going on 2 months now) but I think it's
a breath of fresh air in a world of marketing hype and "CRM". It's an
excellent product, is more than reasonably priced, and has responsive
support (probbly too responsive in regards to data feeds IMO).
I think I found a gem and I hope things stay just they way they are.
But then maybe I'm just being selfish.
