- 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
