Milton,

This is terrible news.

I wonder if users on this forum and in general would be open to the idea of a pretty minimal annual support fee that could keep AstroIIDC alive.  I pay something like $1500 a year for support with the software my dental office runs on and I need them for very little.  Don't forget that if you buy a new laptop and Milton isn't around then there is nobody to provide a software key.

Milton, would even $10 a head be enough?  Or how much would be needed?

We need to keep OSX operating system as a viable alternative for astroimaging.

Jim
