I'm with you on that, Brian. Sorry Erick!  :) 
Nisus should be selling NWE, NWP and an iPad NW 
in the Apps Store -- while maintaining its normal 
sales, of course.

Here's an amazing price thing here in Australia. 
Apple Australia is offering Aperture 3 in the 
Apps store for $89 or $99 -- but is still quoting 
the old price of $249 for providing it preloaded 
on a new MacBook!

AND even better -- some people are still trying 
to sell it on eBay for something approaching the 
old price!

Regarding NWP, though, I don't think I actually 
closed the loop in my most recent post -- I was 
interrupted and lost the train ...

What I was getting around to was that the bits 
and pieces that need fixing and have needed 
fixing for nearly two years are out there on the 
table -- tweaking a few things ought hardly to be 
secret. In addition, I'm not sure how much it 
needs to keep secret from its competitors 
pre-release.

Maybe Nisus is writing a new text engine of its own.

Incidentally, did anyone mention Pages as a 
competitor? It would be interesting to know what 
its sales were like.

Cheers, geoff
