I expected to sell about 100.  A large percentage of the sales were driven
by devices like the CFFA and MicroDrive.

I don't have the actual $$ figure on hand, but it started at $19.95, dropped
to $8.95, then popped back up to $9.95.  For anyone thinking about doing
shareware, $9.95 turns into $9.36 for USA residents and $9.26 for others
if you go through PayPal.

I had one chargeback; the customer claimed somebody stole their credit
card number.  I'm still trying to picture that.

I would estimate CiderPress represents about nine months of full-time work.


As a proud "licensee", I also would like to thank you for your past efforts!
Do you have any sense as to whether a Linux/X-Windows port would be practical? There are a number of cross-platform GUI toolkits in existence, and perhaps Ciderpress could sit on top of one.
