Speaking from both a user and a marketing standpoint, I think it would be great if www.runrev.com offered the capability of allowing a user to log on to use Revolution Media or Revolution Studio online.

This way, a person who was away from their computer could access their online account to do some programming anywhere they had internet access.

The reason I mention this as possibly being good for Revolution marketing is that users could have access to build programs to their heart's content... even if they did not have a license for the software. The only hitch is that they could not download any programs they built until they owned and registered their license. This would allow a far greater number of people to get to experience using Revolution, which I believe would be the best way of all to interest new users to buy the program... especially if there were also some online tutorials they could use to learn at the same time.

Great Need for Revolution Univeristy and High School Students

There's something that I believe is very important to Revolution that I forgot to mention in my first posting on this topic:

Various universities around the country are now starting to teach Revolution in their College of Education under such titles as "Design of Educational Software," which is a perfect venue for Revolution.

However, these classes are typically limited in size due to the fact that the only students who can sign up for such classes must by necessity own a notebook/laptop computer that they can bring to class with them.

Most all universities now have very large computer labs, which means that if it were possible for a student to buy a Media license, and then be able to access their account online to do their programming over the Internet on the Revolution site, they could use the computers at school to do their work. This idea would not only allow for much greater numbers of students, without disadvantaging the students who can't afford their own portable computers, but it would also allow high schools across the United States, not to mention the world, to be able to start implementing Revolution into their curricula.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas,
Cheers & Eggnog, deeverd
