Anyone purchased the new Plottr Pro [emphasis on 'Pro']
They're offering a 60% discount, but it's still a hefty price. It's currently available only as a lifetime purchase. This Pro version is not yet a subscription service.
I subscribe to the regular version. |

All I found was a "setup guide" for it which indicated one of the differences of the Pro version was cloud syncing and collaboration, specifically via an account on their website, which makes it very odd that they are selling lifetime licences rather than subscription ... I'd be wary of that.

The Lifetime Regular version of the regular Plotter is (I think) $99.00
The Lifetime Pro version is (for a short time; this is the second offering) is $117.00 One difference is that you don't have to be on the internet to use the Pro version. The internet is required, of course, for syncing. Last edited by Dr. Drib; 01-14-2022 at 04:21 PM. |

I'm not certain if these slight additions are worth an extra $17, (compared to the regular Lifetime purchase): On the other hand, I'm not certain that any Lifetime purchase of Plottr is worth $99 - $117 I'm still debating the issue. Last edited by Dr. Drib; 01-15-2022 at 07:25 AM. |

Since I just bought a new TV, I may subscribe to the Criterion Channel instead ($99 a year, I think). I love those old Criterion Laser Disks from 35 or so years ago and the films and commentary they so lovingly provided. And that would take care of any additional expenditure. |

If I was spending money I'd buy a local copy of MS Office Basic. Beyond Word & Excel is worthless to me and I've got life time versions of Full Office 4.3, Full Office 95, Full MS Office 2000, Full MS Office XP, Word 2.0a, MS Office Basic of 2003 and 2007. Most versions of DOS and Windows up to Server 2003, Win 7, Win10. Various versions of MS-SQL, SBE Server, Mappoint, Visio (inc one pre MS-Version), Sharepoint, IIS, MS Money, Encarta, Visual Studio 5, VS 6, Exchange Server (ancient), horrid MS Works (which barely does).
I've binned most of it, but I have MS Works on a VM to export as almost nothing can read its files. Current Word might not read wri, wps or early MS Word (Dos or Windows). I'm less fussed about keeping old programs for compatibility than 10 years ago. I wrote a pearl script to convert pre Wordstar 2000 format CP/M & DOS Wordstar to ASCII as I found some old files I had on 3" and 5.25" discs. I have one machine with 64 bit CPU and unusually a real floppy port so I can read most 3" to 8" discs of CP/M, CP/86 and DOS on Linux, though I gave away the 8" drive a few years ago, so I can't physically read those. |

Now that brings back a few memories.
I still have my educational disks from Microsoft - I think they were $10 for each program:
And then there's Ecco Pro, and Adobe Photoshop 5.0 [Limited Edition] These are all on official disks, of course. Last edited by Dr. Drib; 01-15-2022 at 12:20 PM. |
