I'm a paying costumer now and I'm a little bit curious about the team behind the software! How many guys (or girls for that matter) does the dev-team consist of? What's your monthly budget/salary for this kind of program? How many licenses do you sell in, let's say, a month? How much difference will my 39.98 make (and by the way, I'm from Sweden so it's a lot more than that for me

)? I had some more questions which I seem to have forgotten, but I'll be glad for some answers just to these! Great software!

It Will Buy About Two Tanks Of Gas

Well, I must admit that I didn't expect all questions to be answered

Like salaray and stuff, sometimes you're not even allowed to tell your workmates about it, so no chance telling a community

Thanks anyway!

It will buy about 0.75 tanks of gas here

Can't say more than I agree.... for 39.98 you won't get a tank of gas BY FAR! 0,75 seems like a reasonable amount...

jleerigby · « **Reply #5 on:** October 26, 2003, 04:43:42 am »

Very Close - In the UK $39.98 = £25 which buys me exactly 0.73 tankls of diesel or petrol.

AndyCircuit · « **Reply #6 on:** October 26, 2003, 06:15:00 am »

Off topic, right?
My 0,75 tank is based on 65 liter regular unleaded @ 1,03€/liter
(17,1 gallons for those who use ancient units @ 4,46$/gallon)

Diesel is about 20% less but therefore the taxes (and prices) for diesel cars are much higher so it pays off only if you drive more than 20000 km (12500 mi)/year

@Tommy: I was always curious about sold copies, too. I don't know but you can try to estimate. This forum has currently 7839 members (including MJ8 users) Since this forum is the only way for support and you have to register to post questions you only have to guess how many users (%) may get their information by just reading threads without register themselves. Whatever your guess is, compared to the 23,488,814 downloads of Winamp 2.91 on download.com we are "Elite"

I confirm JimH's denial
I categorically deny that money or Yugos have changed hands for this confirmation.

I could confirm this, too, I think.

gotcha

well At 11 Gals A Tank For My Wife And 13 Gals For My Yugo At $1.45 For Reg Gas That Comes To $34.80 to fill Both My Cars.

This Is Self Service Price BTW

Completely OT but

Amrerican gallon = 3.6 litres
British gallon = 4.2 litres

come to think of it an american pint of beer is smaller than a british pint as well ( 500ml c.f 630 ml)

Cant imagine why the american measure is smaller

Cos us Brits are more hardcore drinkers

Not to be too much a stickler, but there are 3.7854 liters in one U.S. gallon.

Are you kidding? It's so we can charge more for less. $:-\$ It's the American way!

(Never mind me. I'm still bitter over their decision to define a pound of coffee as 13 ounces, and that happened almost two decades ago.

Not everything measured in the USA is smaller.

I was wondering what you were talking about... here's a link to Andy Rooney's piece: http://www.wwjtv.com/rooney/sixtyminutes_story_187190141.html
