thanks Ron... 
i was just saying that for a company that has above 100 workers (or 
servers/worksattions) is infinitely easier (and feasible) to pay your 
company $1200 a year to audit their network. a single user as i am that 
uses your tool sporadically for about 3 machines total is way too much. 
yet by default i'm placed in the same category as the aformentioned 
company. in your business mind that can be 'very competitive in a wide 
variety of markets'. in my 'local market' is way too much.
that's all.

and you are probably correct about the pci features - they might have 
not been available in the open version of the application. i was left 
with the impression that some of them were under the "experimental 
scripts". of course i might be wrong there too. but i saw the video that 
you sent me when i registered for the 'home' version. so i naturally got 
exited and looked for those first after the plugin update. imagine my 
surprise...

anyway..  i appreciate your clarification on the pricing.  thank you.

i just don't like when another useful open source tool goes proprietary
and everybody - big fat corporations and single users alike - are thrown
in the same $1200 dollar/year bucket.

anyway...  there is nothing i can about this now.

Hi there,

Just for the record, the Nessus ability to perform PCI auditing and
much of the features that were added to Nessus over the past few years
by Tenable were never an open source project that was closed.

And although I appreciate your insight on our pricing, $1200/year is
very competitive in a wide variety of markets.
