First, I'd like to see automatic column width adjustments. That "save last window settings" stuff doesn't work because I like all my windows maximized, and then it doesn't save them, and if they're not all maximized, then the windows drift all over the place and go off screen. Either way it's annoying. So why not have them auto-adjust? I have a part time home business and have clients emailing me, and have to look at dates of the emails all the time, but they get pinched in various windows and I have to keep trying to pull them open but it doesn't work so well and is annoying, when spread sheets do that kind of thing automatically.
Then, you might be asking; Why did she suggest Capitalism? [:D]
I've followed Pegasus for many years and seen the kinds of business practices that can typically come out of Australia because of the culture there. At one point, David was asking for people to donate $50 a month, if I recall. Most of the time, the program was offered "for free".
Well anyone with bills to pay, or who has observed governments over a lifetime, knows that there's no such thing as "free". If you don't make enough money to pay the bills, you go out of business, and if you're providing a good product, you DESERVE to do well!
So I think the authors would do quite well if they adopted a capitalist model and I know the one I've appreciated so much, over the years.
Offer Pegasus as a free trial. Be generous if you want, say 90 days. Then you pay. It could be $20, $10, or whatever you feel is right, and would support the software being developed and improved, and hopefully the company doing really well.
For example, if there are 3 million users and they all paid $20 after 3 months free trial, that's $60 million, folks.
There's a saying that in socialism, people wait in line for goods, and in capitalism, goods wait in line for people. So embrace capitalism. Read Ayn Rand to understand it better, if you need to. It's NOT about corporate "greed", which is usually crony corporatism and not capitalism. It essentially means private property, individual rights, and no one having to sacrifice their lives to serve others. In other words, if you provide a great product, you deserve to do well, and human sacrifice stinks.
So I think, if the Pegasus people changed to that business model, they could prosper and do very well.
