Maybe yes, so it's a pity RSI are copying it... at least Windows is an
entire operating system, and only $200. Since Windows is (like it or
not) bundled with almost every new PC, there's not much need to
transfer it around - but IDL is comparatively uncommon, and expensive,
and I'd like my own personal, licensed, copy to use anywhere. Maybe
RSI prefer to deal only with large institutions with dozens of fixed
workstations - wish I'd known this sooner. Photoshop (another
expensive, high-power 'industry standard' PC/MAC application) is
licensed for use on one user's desktop PC and laptop (if I recall),
and uninstalled / reinstalled freely, like IDL until now.
