- i agree with samuel. sometimes i really want to register some of the
- shareware programs, but when i look at some of the prices above $50, i
- turn tail and run quickly. in this case, i find something that is
- cheaper. i understand that authors of shareware don't receive a lot of
- registrations, but jacking up the price is going to reduce that number
- even more. i think more people would register if they look at the price
- and can afford it, and thinks that the program is worth it.
- so let's keep the price under $40 please!
