I don't think the marketing pitch is going to work.  The consensus of the group 
is that it's overpriced for the average business (that being most of the folks 
here), it's not flexible enough and that fixes and suggestions have been slow 
to be implement.

From day one, I told melco that a light or LE version of the product but no one 
has taken that to heart.

It's a little disheartening at times - because melco seems to be in the 
business of recruiting us small shops but then doesn't seem to be marketing to 
us.

It would be interesting to see how the demograpics of owners breaks out.  What 
is needed is an easy way for the little guy to get online and sell product.  
There really isn't anything out there other than standard shopping cart 
systems.  Another 5k plus 4k a year on top of spending $35-40k on a couple of 
machines and software/supplies just seems like piling on...

You may be the leaders in price and functionality, but it isn't flying with 
this target market...  ----- That's really good feeback John, I like the idea 
of a LiveDesigner LE.  We are currently in development of some new features 
that will allow us to reduce the cost even further and I think eventually we 
will get the price down to where the cost will be negligable.  Also being 
developed are some of the additional flexibilities you discussed.  

Do you have any suggestions or ideas as to what the LE version might look like?
