Then you should offer a money-back guarantee. The only thing you do by not offering one or the other (guarantee or demo) is invite distrust and wariness, which turns into lost sales. 95% of the people who are interested in this are not programmers and could care less about creating new features. They would rather leave that up to you in future releases. Therefore, most of your sales-base is not being targeted at all. Demos are key to generating sales with most programs. I know ... I created a multimedia Grand National CD-ROM. Sales were okay at launch, but then nearly quadrupled after a demo was available and continued to rise. Maybe you should consider creasting a non-open version so that you can offer a demo version for the vast amjority of potential users. At the VERY LEAST, Joke, show on your web site, STEP-BY-STEP, how Sussanah works. SO far you have not provided any information into how the program ACTUALLY works and what the user has to do. This alone would be very helpful. -Tim
