I use programs for work, since I'm a webmaster. Most of the programs I own I first tried as
shareware, and those that really helped me and I found useful now are regularized. It's right.

That's fair when you can reach easily what you want. It's just 2 years I re-begun to use A//.
Before I had just Appleworks... a 12 years old legal copy. But, here in Italy I've got to
recalculate distances and costs. I'm used to, wrongly but necessarly, consider as shareware
some selling products too. You know the Radium productions?
Cakewalk? Filters? Why buy a 900$ audio filter when you find it simply unusable?
That's a way of seeing things slightly different. Slightly wrong. But better than other, don't
you think so?
