Holy CRAP!!!!!
I've been off the block for a month or so and come back and find that Diego is pushing this app along quite nicely.
I love what I see Diego. Very very nice. Glad you stuck around here.
On pricing:
I'm of the mindset that there is a great burgeoning need for lower-priced apps (specifically for O2 machines). Why? There are boatloads of O2s selling on eBay and the "new IRIX user" market is growing. What these users don't see out there is affordable software to utilize the O2 they just bought.
I believe you can make more money selling 3-10X the software at lower prices than selling small quantities of software at higher prices.
I know I've not bought ANY software for the O2 simply because I do not like the possibility of spending > $250 US on a piece of software and then finding out that the software doesn't even suit me or at least give me a "WHIZ*BANG* effect.
If there were a version doing quite a few things running < $100 US, I would buy it. At the same time, a "full-featured" version running > $250 would entice me to pick that up after using the inexpensive version.
I would very much like to see PartixFX (I always want to type this as PartiFX.. without the lower case 'x').

In fact: I'll be naming a
) more even, before the production version be ready. But I don't want an overpriced app. The commercial (Full) version of PartixFX was priced many months ago, a lot higher than VideoTrackerRT, considering many other facts, like the real-world physics module, and a soon-implemented possibility to run parallel on Origin and Altix systems. Anyway, I'll be revisiting cost-factors on Pfx too, probably dividing the line on two apps (Uni-Processor / Multi-Processor), to get one version inexpensive for hobbyists too.
