I'm currently employed full-time as a Mac developer as well as running my own company. I admit to the thought of selling out or "freeing" my apps now and again but then I always get an e-mail from an avid user of one of my apps who sing the app's praises. It turns me around every time and (I admit, surprisingly) motivates me enough to keep working hard another few months at the Next Big Thing in the pipeline. It took a few years before my own business went from buying me an iPod in a month, to a laptop in a month, then to replacing a sizable portion of my income, yet I'm still working full-time to support my Starbucks habit and my Sake at the Expensive Japanese Restaurant Night habit. :-) In short, I would really like you to reconsider selling out. It's hard work, I know, but creating an app that is loved by thousands is a *very* rewarding thing. We all have our own way to happiness, just make sure you're not selling yours after just a few years of trying. It’s tough to stick it out.
