There's no reason for anyone to complain -- I believe $39.99 is an absolutely fair price [understatement].

Well, it is a SMALL bummer, but I can see why they want to charge and they have every right too, if it was in PHP, I would pay $70 for it, but that's me :D

Oops! It seem I quoted the wrong version which is the latest ver1.5.5 I am using ver1.5

Anyway, the new ver should have better features and value for money in my opinion. :)

Finally... they should've asked money for this script long time ago :D

$39.95 is nothing for such a script, they could have easily doubled or tripled this price.

actually this is the reason why they charge

and again 40$ for such a great piece of software is nothing.

and phpmanager is way behind IMHO.

but again thats my opinion.

While I regret losing a free source of a terrific script, John should have done this long ago. Well worth $40.

Same, same. On top of being a nice person that John who created it spent an outrageous amount of time developping this outstanding tool - and is always available to help others, even people who did not pay for it. 40 bucks's nothing, I can't believe people would complain about such a price. Probably haven't tried it or haven't saved hours of their time thanks to that guy and his Perldesk.
Don't wanna pay for that ? Go ahead, create your own, make it even better, and give it away for free. We'll see you in two years.
