No one will want to use Eudora if they have to see ads, when they can get Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer for free, without ads. The ads are completely optional. No one is ever forced to see ads. Eudora has always been available in two versions. These were: 1. Eudora Light - free, and limited features 2. Eudora Pro - Cost $$$, full featured Those two options are still available, just as before, with NO ads. In addition to the two options described avove, the user now has a third option. Under the third option, the user gets the full featured version of Eudora, and pays no money, but has ads. If at any time, the user decides that he would prefer to not have the ads, he can pay money and upgrade to the full featured version, with no ads, or devolve to the limited feature version, with no ads. The ads are a new alternative. No options have been removed. This structure respects the user. You can get a free limited-feature Email client from Microsoft, or Netscape, or Qualcomm. However... Once you have the new Qualcomm email client, you can turn on the more sophisticated features and try them out, while still paying no money at all, in exchange for seeing a few ads. You then get to decide which option is best for you. If you don't want ads, you don't get ads. Everything should work this way.
