- >> Do people really make a living off of shareware?
-
- Several years ago a person I really admired quit our company. I
- asked why. The person replied, "I've not received a good merit
- review for the last couple of years due to a certain
- supervisor. It isn't a matter of money since I live a VERY simple
- life. Rather, it is a matter of respect."
-
- I believe it is the same for shareware authors. If you don't send
- in the shareware fee and you use the ware you are showing a lack
- of respect.
-
- In this vein I'm about ready to send Dave Lyons his $15 for
- DICED. I've had it for a number of years on my HD and have never
- really used it. This boils down to a matter of respect. (Dave, get
- ready for a really high time on the town!)
