I expect that jb will provide free support, right?
BTW, with so little documentation, how much would
you expect that it can actually do? Compared to systems
with thousands of pages of documentation and gigabytes
of files to install?
What size is the install and how does it compare to SW
& suchlike?
That would probably be a very telling point, IMHO.

Umm, the documentation is reasonably good, actually. About a foot high
stack of printed manuals. The same available in PDF. IIRC you can download
the doc in electronic form from the website (even if you're not a buyer), as
well as some opening tutorials (they're a little too hyped for my taste, but
they're there).

The zipped program files only are around 100 megs.
