REGISTRATION
_________________________________________________________________
Renegade is *FREE*, or perhaps, "donationware". However, it is
requested that if you already haven't registered for Renegade
support on the author's board, you do so with the enclosed
REGISTER.DOC. The cost is only $25. Considering Renegade and all of
it's related utilities are FREE, $25 is nothing.
In addition, your $25 will buy you a permanent account on The
Digital Frontier, the author's four line system with all the
latest Renegade utilities available for download.
If you do NOT register, then you have no right to complain about
anything. To paraphrase Martin Pollard:
Why am I doing this? It's quite simple: I'm tired of giving
away something for free, and getting nothing but grief in return.
The majority of the Renegade sysops have no respect for software
authors, conference rules, or even common human decency. They not
only expect everything handed to them for free, they DEMAND it,
and expect me to kiss their asses while doing it.
So, in exchange for my sacrificing a significant portion of my
life and mental health in providing you with Renegade, I am asking
that you help me pay for my BBS. If you don't feel Renegade is
worth $25, then I can't see why you're running it. I certainly
can't see any reason why I should assist you in running Renegade.
To register for support, you need simply to fill out
REGISTER.DOC included in the RGMAINT package, print it, and mail it
to the author at the address indicated.
CLARIFICATION
_________________________________________________________________
Since there are many people out there that are hell-bent on
spreading rumors and putting words in my mouth, I figure I'll
clarify:
1. RENEGADE is FREE. You do NOT pay for it.
2. If you LIKE Renegade, I ask that you register on my
system for support and files (permanently) for $25.
3. This is all because I am tired of wasting my time doing
something completely for free, only to have to deal with
the complaining, demanding, and grief that I continously
get in netmail, email, and the various Renegade echoes
out there. Now I am wasting a significant amount of MONEY
running a 4 line system for Renegade support.
Furthermore:
1. If you DON'T register, that's fine too.
2. If you DON'T register, you have NO right to bitch and moan
when I don't go out of my way to personally help you.
3. No, I will NOT go out of my way to completely stop helping
anybody who doesn't register for support.
4. The reverse will simply be true; I won't waste my time and
add to my stress level by going out of my way for people
who don't register.
5. For those of you that DON'T already realize it; I'm not
only a full time student, but I have a job too. I have
very little free time after work and school, and am
tired of donating it and my money to what at times seems
to be the most ungrateful faction of electronic society
ever.

Renegade needs an 80186 or better processor. If you are using an
8088 or 8086, you can replace your processor with an NEC V20 or
V30 processor respectively, for as little as $5.You will then be
able to run most 286 applications.
