I visited the Web site but when I discovered the cost for a personal
licence I logged off. With all major companies doing their best to offer
their services at a nominal cost, to charge an individual an annual
subscription at 350 quid seems, um, surprising. Try comparing the cost with
that of eg the Encyclopedia Brit.
How many individual users will they get at that sort of price? 1,000? 5,000?
And how many million would they get if they charged say 10 quid a year?
