ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH   I'm beginning to get sick of "shareware" programmers
As I posted on another news group, I went to use some shareware the other
day for a project.  The project was a one time deal, but because the program
was crippled, I had to BUY a more expensive package that was AVAILABLE 
IMMEDIATELY through the "NORMAL MARKETING ROUTE."   Thus the program
which was/is quite good ( up to 35 objects ) ( K-DRAW ) would have been paid
for if it wasn't criple-ware.  The money was not the problem.  The program
was/is *very good*, but it is not available like "COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE," and in
my book SHAREWARE != COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE.  
FURTHERMORE, many shareware programs are written by people who do it as a hobby
and the asurance of future support is not like that of commercial software.

My philosophy:  If its crippled, I won't even evaluate it.  If it's workable
I'll play with it, and if I use it, I'll pay for it.

I realize the above is a gamble, but, then again you can gamble your money on
advertising ( check the price if you think it's cheap ) and go commercial.
Care to bet on how many of you fall flat on your face !

CRIPPLE-WARE IS DEAD-WARE !
