It is not a surprise to me that they are trying to make money, but this is being marketed in the educational community which does not have much money. Also the difficulty lies in instructing a team of kids with one computer. If I install this on a PC I don't want to lug it to a competition, and I do not have the resources to obtain a laptop for my team or myself. I am not saying it should have an unlimited number of installs, but more than one would make things easier in an instructional setting.

I know that it is targeted at the new programmer and I think that the steps people must go through to create their program will develop good programming techniques. I am just slightly disappointed that you cannot directly edit the C, it seemed like that Easy C would allow that feature. I thought it would be like Front Page, for example, where you can drop in web page elements and then edit the HTML.
Overall I am very happy to have the Easy C and programming module. Lastly there is no need for the sarcasm in your reply. People should feel free to post their opinions and questions without being mocked.
