Gee, a lot of pennies being tossed in here... One of the things I dislike most about the CD-ROM shareware collections is that people WILL assume that they've paid for the programs' use. I've done some research on this. Spending ANY money registers in their minds as "payment." The CD presser gets the cash on the barrel head, and is often the only person who does. On the other hand, who am I to argue with success? I know it'd be an ego-boo to be on the next AMUG collection! Y'know, I think that most programmers who write shareware and freeware are more in it for that than any real remuneration. (Still, LifeKeeper is earning me a Japanese M:tG booster pack!) Also remember that some of you are getting huffy about being asked to pay five or ten bucks. Let's not be TOO petty, shall we? ---Saint John <morrisoj@post.drexel.edu>
