Re: New blog post from Philip Hodgetts. Worth the read.

[Herb Sevush] "Why doesn't DaVinci lite meet your needs? The price is certainly right."

The price is certainly right Herb - that's for sure. And, initially the lite version is absolutely the ticket, for me and for anyone making that move. But, there's still the learning curve to deal with, or should I say, yet another learning curve. And, eventually lite probably won't cut it, and so paying the piper of the full-blown DaVinci will undoubtedly have to be done at some point.

The bottom line is, investing in hardware and software these days is tantamount to investing in a boat, which as the old adage goes is, "a hole in the ocean into which you pour money."
