I know exactly what you mean.  

Several years ago I found a great little text editor, called Qed.  It was
cripleware.  The "free" version was limited to files smaller than 10K.  At
the time, I was still in school and quite poor.  I used Qed on most files
and used other editors for larger files.  Annoying, but it worked.

Later, when I finances allowed it, I decided to make good on the shareware
principle.  But my check cam back "adressee unknown".  I have tried
several times to determine a current address, but to no avail.

I still use Qed.  Even with the 10k limitation, it suites my needs beter
than anything else I have found.
