I realize a creditcard is allmost indispencible when buying anything online, but i have never wanted to pay for anything online. You can get almost everything for free if you search long enough (even InScribe). And being only a poor student, the word "free" has an allmost magical effect. However I decided InScribe was the first thing worth paying for, through a combination of great programming and "near real time" support and comment in the manner of this website. So when I get the hang of PayPal, some of my money is going "down under". (any chance of a student discount?) |
| harmen 07/07/2005 1:27pm | And now hoping fret doesn't come with v2.0 too soon.
Then I would have to convince myself all over again. |
| harmen 07/07/2005 2:00pm | Because I have a non US bank account, I have to pay PayPal in advance to increase my PayPal funds.
Not a huge problem if you're not in a rush, however... I can only deposit euro's. I have to pay fret in US dollars, so there is an exchange rate, and if you read further, a PayPal fee for multiple currency payments. To be on the safe side i have to transfer a little more, because the transfer takes some day's and the exchage rates may have canged. Whatever is left is left hanging around because a transfer back to my bank account costs 1 euro. (get over it and PAY! Ok, I will) |

As for v2, even if it came out tomorrow it would not be as good as v1 is for at least the first 6 months. So it wouldn't matter that much if you bought v1 your not missing out on anything. v2 is going to spend a lot of time getting to production stability and everyone will know about the alpha/beta program for months before hand. |
| Harmen 12/07/2005 7:32am | well, the exchange rates did change, luckely in my favour. So now i have 19 (euro)cents to spend on eBay :) |
