MovableType starts a pricing system

With MT 3.0 the makers of MovableType are going to begin charging. I agree with the concept of charging because everyone wants to make some money at what they are doing and at what they love to do. I have to take issue a bit with the amount of the pricing and what you get for what you pay for.

For example, the Personal license introductory price is $69.95 (regular is $99.95) and you are able to have a max of 3 author and 5 weblogs. Wait... when I went on this site earlier it was 1 author and 3 weblogs. Well, it looks like they may have listened to the community. However, I feel that even $69 is too much for a personal edition. It should be something closer to $30. Then I say that because I live paycheck to paycheck

If I am not able to continue using the version of MT that I'm currently using, 2.64, then I'm will have to check out some other blogging software. We'll see.
