Re: Bluprint/Craftsy death - Reassuring Update
I suspect they are indeed in negotiations for a last-chance buy-out ... otherwise, ratings wise, they should have been WAY more gracious and helpful. They are stalling ... for something - just give it away if you are abandoning it anyway - people always respond better to *free* :-)

Re: Bluprint/Craftsy death - Reassuring Update
I do believe that if Bluprint does not offer an easy way for people who have ¡°own forever¡± classes to download them, a big class action suit in in their future. ?
Many people are not tech savvy and aren¡¯t going to be able to use or figure out these tricks. ? (Or theyre unwilling to spend all the time required to get something that they already own.)
I hope someone buys it. ?
