I support the posting of demo programs! I don't see a problem with it. I
can always junk anything I don't like after looking at it. Demos give you
a chance to try before you buy. I wish other parts of the commercial world
would give out demos...it would save a lot of grief for products I have
bought and was sorry later because it didn't do what I wanted it to.
If its clogging other stuff from getting out, then lets make a new newsgroup
called comp.binaries.mac.demos.
