This is exactally what I was saying both chris and recardo are both offering their wares and if people wish to invest in their services it is there for them. I just bought chris's tutorial and am waiting for it to arrive. I wish them both well and I know from living life that sometimes one person's way of explaining works for some and another's for others. Thus, I feel they both will be helping the community of mac's and iphones and etc. > -----Original Message----- > From: mac4theblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mac4theblind- > bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Panarese > Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 11:45 > To: mac4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [mac4theblind] Re: Garageband Tutorial Ready for Distribution! > > To me, as someone who charges for training and support as now my > way of making a living, trying to make money off of a products is > perfectly fine.
