I don't know who sets those prices or how they're determined in the first place, or how compensation is set. If you want those to be be free, contact the author and ask them to reclassify it.

Well, if tony isn't shipping to people who are paying for products, i doubt very much his is paying royalties to anyone who supposed to get them.  Plus I doubt anyone is spending the money wanted for most of the software, like the compilers.

If it's a disk and manual for $20, and tony doesn't ship anyways, is it still worth it?

People seem to gloss over the that Tony isn't shipping products, which people keep claiming, so defending him, and his products seems sort of stupid.

Also, it doesn't surprise me that you'd pay $20 for SCSI utilities, you jumped on giving Conrad money for a preorder, that still hasn't show up.  You apparently like to throw your money away.

Tell you what, since you have money to throw away, order me the Orca C cross development kit from Syndicomm and let's see how long it takes to get shipped.
