BBEdit's Most Expensive Upgrade

Posted by timothy on 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."

    ...for that much money, I'll dance the macarena in a monkey suit and install BBEdit on every computer in the state of Idaho while doing so.

      BBEdit is a Mac program... there are only 3 Macs in the state of Idaho, so the per-computer rate would actually be quite good.

      So what you're saying is I have all the Macs in Idaho? That's what I always though.

    It's all fun and games until Jobs decides to drop a quarter mil.
