- SHAREWARE ETHICS:
- The cheapest way to great software titles
-
- Shareware is an great way of circulating software to
- potential purchasers. It's an honor system that depends on
- your sense of integrity.
-
- Shareware developers use CD-ROMs such as MacHome’s to allow
- you to try their products. You get to try out each program
- on your own Mac so that you can determine if you want to
- continue using it.
-
- If you do decide to keep a shareware program and get some
- real use out of it, then it's up to you to register with
- the original distributor. This usually involves printing
- out a form that came with the program and remitting a
- modest fee; by cutting out the middle-men, prices are kept
- affordable.
-
- BUT: It only works if you play your part. If you do like a
- program and decide to keep it, then register and pay the
- fee. Your support is vital: If you like a product, your
- registration fee will enable the designer not only to keep
- on updating it and make it better, but also to create other
- great, cheap software. You win all the way!
