Jeez... BlitzPlus is $60 only. Hardly an amount anyone will so dearly miss. Just get BlitzPlus and try it out. It's a good system (especially for the price) but don't expect to create all dancing all singing (GUI-wise) applications with it. For quick utilities, standard GUI apps and 2D games that will run on almost anything it's a pretty good buy. I have all BRL products and never regretted purchasing any of them. Each has it's own position in the greater scheme of things and is potentially quite useful. One just has to learn their limits and that takes time. You can't really judge the BRL languages based on a demo alone.
