I should of known it would be the relationships causing trouble.

Some quick math about the app store.

If we image the following, slightly unrealistic, scenario: 1) That I’d like to recoup the cost of my Mac. 2) That I’d like to recoup the cost of the developer program for 1 year. 3) That I’d like to draw, … Continue reading
