why not one time pay only, your pay a special licence and have lifetime acess to the updates. Something like this. But just my 0cent opinion. 73 CT7ABD

I have the HamClock on my desk running off a Raspberry Pi and it's pretty cool (I think all told I spent about $100 to build it, including the Pi, the stand, and the display).

Simon's is a great little free program, I sometimes run it on my 4K computer monitor, but I may see about what appears to be the exact same hardware they are selling for $450 for $197 off Amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099ZH93B8 ... Quad core CPU, 4GB memory, 64GB storage, network and dual band WiFi, and Windows 10 ... for $40 more money, you can get the same thing with double the memory and storage) and run Simon's program.

Granted the GeoChron software is MUCH more polished, but they are flat out gouging you of the hardware. Maybe if they charged $49.99 for the program, or even $99.99 for it and you supply your own hardware (which is really all they are doing, providing you a store bought Mini Stick PC), it would be worth it, but to charge a $253 premium for their software and hardware that anyone can buy PLUS $6.99 a month is a bit much. My 2 cents.

Yes, that is HamClock on a 4K screen. I forget what display options I had selected, you can make it look different depending on what you select.
