I agree with Roger, the net provides a unique opportunity to preview software
utilities before the actual purchase. It is especially important for those of
the Mac users who live outside USA. Some of the software so popular in the US
does not come here at all or so late it is already obsolete (ie to Australia).
The choice of imported software is usually made by the computer dealers who
frequently do not have a clue as to what is good or what the users would want.
Lets have an option to see and demand what's good for the Mac.

PS: Imagine the cost we pay to get the news here to Oz.
    It is still a cheaper way of trying soaftware than to order a program
    wait for a couple of months (non-refundable order) and then find you
    have never wanted it.
