"Nice"?  It might be possible to consider it nice at first, but after a
while, 50 emails a day cease to hold such joy... at least all my support
email goes to my university account, so I dont pay to download it! :-)

To keep on the topic of the thread, I have always felt it isn't worth
the bother of managing a shareware distribution scheme - especially for
the trouble it must cause people outside the UK.  I know I have users in
South Africa, Australia, New Zealand & Japan amongst others, for
instance.  If I asked them to send me money, say 5 quid, it would
penalise some of them almost double that amount in banking charges.
