OK, we agree a bit more here.  Crippling of shareware *is* a real turn 
off.  I usually don't even evaluate crippled programs unless there is no 
alternative.

To me, when an author cripples his program, it signals their feeling that 
the program itself will not get the user to register.  Of course I am 
looking at this as a greedy user, not a person trying to make a living 
writing shareware!
