BBEdit's Most Expensive Upgrade

Posted by timothy on Tuesday April 1, 2003 @03:59PM from the who-says-they're-joking dept.

BBEdit users with a lot of money and fast reflexes can order something not available from most software companies: yroJJory writes "For the duration of the day, Bare Bones Software is offering BBEdit 7 for $250,000. The new pricing option includes: hand delivery of the product by a Bare Bones employee in a gorilla suit; a breaking-of-the-seal ceremony; Interpretive reading of the manual; and one year of feature request implementation service. And to think...I just paid for my license last week. Shucks."

Sorry I don't have mod points today. You're certainly on the money. The uninspired "April Fools" jokes, from the $65,000 jobs as a freshmeat editor to this crap at bbedit just aren't funny, and they're a waste of my time when they go up on these sites that I use to get work done (wrt the former) or get news (like this one).

Now if BBEdit would just say that their removal of a free OS X version of BBEdit Lite was an April Fool's joke, I'd be interested.
