OK folks, I'm putting the whole REALbasic package up for sale on eBay. The total asking price is $270, but I will pay for the shipping so shipping is
FREE! Since I became a Sun Certified Java Programmer, I've decided that it will be better for me if I just focus on Java programming.
Here is the eBay listing:

REALbasic 4.5 Professional Edition with the printed manuals and a copy of "REALbasic: The Definitive Guide (2nd Edition)" by Matt Neuburg published by O'Reilly. All the items are in brand-new condition.
REALbasic is a powerful, easy-to-use programming tool for creating your own software (including shareware) for Macintosh, Mac OS X, and Windows. It is an ideal development tool for those interested in building professional applications without a lot of hassles.
Here is a description of REALbasic from REAL Software:
- Creates compiled, native applications for Macintosh, Mac OS X, and Windows!
- Since they all use the same code and layout, you only need to design your application once.
- Allows you to make your computer do what you need it to. Everyone has unique problems they need to solve, and REALbasic allows you create your own solution!
- It is easy to use and learn. Build a working application in less than 5 minutes! Hobbyists and professionals experience profound productivity.
- Encourages experimentation and learning. Since you can run your application at any time, you build things step-by-step, and get instant results.
- It's Professional-strength! REALbasic uses a sophisticated version of Object-Oriented BASIC, provides access to the Mac Toolbox, SQL, AppleEvents, and more!
- The Professional Edition also allows you to compile unlimited applications for Windows and to access databases in an unlimited way. The Standard Edition's Windows compiles time out after five minutes and 30 days (they will run for five minutes at a time and after 30 days, won't run at all). The Standard Edition allows database access only while debugging (not in compiled applications) and is limited to 50 records.
REALbasic has won tons of accolades from the Mac community, earning a "Great" rating from MacAddict, and a four mice rating and 2001 Development Software of the Year from MacWorld. You can access the reviews here:
