Bare Bones Software Announces New Pricing Option

BEDFORD, Mass. — April 1, 2003 — Bare Bones Software today announced they have expanded their pricing options for BBEdit 7.0, the award-winning professional HTML and text editor for the Macintosh. Now available is the option to purchase a single user license of BBEdit with hand delivery by a Bare Bones Software employee and one full year of personal service (including unlimited feature additions, ripping the cellophane off the CD, reading the manual aloud, and more). This opportunity is only available for a limited time, at the special price of US$250,000. "At Bare Bones Software, we have set the industry standard for customer service and technical support," said Rich Siegel, founder, president, and CEO of Bare Bones Software. "Many people didn’t think we could possibly offer better service; I’m happy to say that we’ve proven them wrong."

Heh. Read more of this press release and relive previous April foolery from the Bare Bones gang. For example, the personal analog device announcement, the acquisition of fenway park, their determination that lime iMacs ran software faster, and the infamous Bare Bones hardware product.
