I almost hate to say it because of how easily it can be taken wrong (or
right), but I'm all for them selling it for $79.95.  A very quick search
for Gimp will reveal that there are -other- options out there.  If
someone is buying from WinGIMP, it's reasonable to assume that the
either 1) know that there are other (cheaper / free) options available
to them, but have decided that the $79.95 is worth it, or 2) did
absolutely no research when making their purchase.

| I found out that the GIMP 2 has been released. I am going to update my
Linux machines soon with this release, but I also wanted to find a
packaged Windows executable to load on some other machines. I went to
WinGIMP.com. Big mistake. WinGIMP is selling 'packaged versions of GIMP
2 for Windows for $79.95! There has never been a time when I thought
charging for a CD or packaged version of GNU software was inappropriate,
but $79.95??? I was thinking $4.95 or some other reasonable price, but
this is not good. WinGIMP is also offering an 'upgrade' for $29.95 and
other package pricing. For a while now, I have noticed this site selling
GIMP, and that is fine, but who would pay this amount of money?
