We actually have done it, since about two weeks there is the option to subscribe to a 1000 chart limit. I have taken the liberty to activate a free one in your account.

We are in complete agreement here. Personally I would like to see Astrodienst retain its corner on the market by continuing to expand into these new fields, since they are such a great company and I owe them a great deal of gratitude. I understand that overhauling the entire system may not be feasible at the moment though. I guess that we will have to keep our fingers crossed. Exactly! We are in complete agreement here.

I'm of the same mind - astro.com can make a great business doing a managed service for astrologers. Everything goes managed service eventually - email, contact management, documents, social media, blogging... nothing is immune. If astro.com doesn't do it, someone else will. Who do you know would pay a yearly subscription to astrolabe or solarfire instead of purchasing it outright? Most, I bet. People can afford $50-100 a year much more easily than > $500 one-time fee. Updates, new features, added social items like comments, embedding, rss feeds, etc... all that is enabled with a managed service vs a paid software license. You can even tier it out as free, basic, pro, elite... just like every other service out there. SaaS - they should look it up and adhere to the coming efficiencies gained by employing Software as a Service. I will comment on the thread. oh wow – I suggested this more than a year ago!
