- [Stuff about a centralized shareware fee collection agency]
-
- My $.02 ..
- I don't think it will make any difference. In my view people are too
- lazy to mail in money no matter where they are mailing it, and not
- only that, many people figure that either they don't use it often
- enough to justify paying for it, or they have the full version, so
- they won't gain anything from paying for it.
- I think it's a neat idea, I just don't think it will work..
- DeskTracker has had over 150 downloads from GEnie and AOL alone.. have
- I seen one shareware payment? Nope... not a single one..
- I don't think people would be much if any more willing to pay
- shareware fees to a single entity as opposed to a couple entities..
