Some of these people!N|15give their programs away for free, which is called FreeWare. But most people!N|15put a registration fee on their program that they just made. Now, knowing that!N|15some people can't come up with the money right away to register their program,!N|15they don't make it crippled. (i.e. there is nothing differant from the!N|15registered version)!N|15they let you do this so that you can have a 30 day trial period with the!N|15program. If you like it, you should register it. if not then just simply not!N|15use it. The there are those certain somebody's that look at it and say "Hey I!N|15am not going to benefit from this one little stink'in bit!!" and they think that!N|15it doesn't matter, they don't need to register it. But the answer really is!N|15that you should. First of all, the program isn't even liscensed to you. second,!N|15imagine if you were a programmer. And you wanted to start making money off of!N|15programs. So you spend a good month or two designing and programming this!N|15perfect program. then you slap a $30 registration fee on it. So, people look at!N|15the program and love it. But you didn't make it in anyway crippled. The person!N|15decides he likes the program but thinks $30 isn't a good price for it so he!N|15does nothing. now, just imagine the 1,000,000 people that might be using that!N|15program and none of them want to register because they don't benefit from it.!N|15you decide "Damn!! this doesn't work!! I am going to stop this dumb programming!N|15thing!!" just immagine if JAFO had said that with the release of AutoSend.!N|15So, support the sharewar concept and register all your software.!N|15It isn't fair to the person who spent such a long time programming that, for!N|15you to free load off it.!N!N|14⌠!N⌡│>ä|12∩∩ ßúr|14gΣr!N|05°|14⌡|05°°°°°°°°°°°!N|12 319 Distribution site!N!E█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█!N█ ▄████████▄ ▄█████████▄ ▄█████████▄ ▄████████▄ █!N▌ ████ ▀███ ████ ▀▀▀ ████ ▀▀▀ ███▀ ▀███ ▐!N▌ ████ ███ ████▄▄▄▄▄ ████▄▄▄▄▄ ███▄ ▄███ ▐!N ████ ███ ████▀▀▀▀▀ ████▀▀▀▀▀ █████████▀!N ████▄▄▄███▀ ████ ▄▄▄ ████ ▄▄▄ ████!N ▀███████▀ ▀█████████▀ ▀█████████▀ ▀██▀!N▌ ┌╦═╦═╦┐ ┌╦ ╦┐ ┌╦═══╦┐ ┌╦ ╦┐ ┌╦═══╦┐ ┌╦ ╦┐ ┌╦═╦═╦┐ ┌╦═══╦┐ ▐!N▌ ║ ├╬═══╬┤ │║ ║│ │║ ║│ │║ ═╦┐ ├╬═══╬┤ ║ └╩═══╦┐ ▐!N█ ╩ └╩ ╩┘ └╩═══╩┘ └╩═══╩┘ └╩═══╩┘ └╩ ╩┘ ╩ └╩═══╩┘ █!N█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█!N!N!NSurfers' Deep Thoughts Issue 1 Feb. 1995!N!NDPTHT #1: "Where Desire dies, FEAR is born."!NDPTHT #2: "Why do today, what can be put off till tommorrow?"!NDPTHT #3: "I thought I was stupid, till I met Surfer."!N!NDPTHT #4: "Every breath you take is one closer to your last."!NDPTHT #5: "Why?"!NDPTHT #6: "If time waits for no man, why should any man wait for time?"!N!N -Surfer!N SysOp: Cloudbreak!NAny Comments address them to: 410-323-4527!N┌─────────┬──────────────────────────┬─────────┬─────────────────────────────┐!N│ Address │ Network/Board │ Address │ Network/Board │!N├─────────┼──────────────────────────┼─────────┼─────────────────────────────┤!N│ 89@3 │ DigiNet, Net of DM │ 89@112 │ UtopiaNet │!N│ 89@4073 │ IceNet │ 89@3 │ TaloNet │!N│ 89@4133 │ PlaNET │ 89@7010 │ EveNet │!N│ 89@11 │ fEARnET │ 89@3003 │ ImageNet │!N│ 89@29 │ FireLink │ #89 │ Cloudbreak, 410-323-4527 │!N└─────────┴──────────────────────────┴─────────┴─────────────────────────────┘!N!E|01======================!N|08How to contact the AVA!N|01======================!N|09Write via U.S. Snail-Mail at:!N |03--[ |11Audio Video Assembly Productions |03]--!N |03--[ |11P.O.
