Guys and Gals

Although CRT post was "tongue in cheek" there is something important here that has been missed.

A lot of the software companies that put out trial software (15 - 90 days free use) are start up companies, guys starting to run their own businesses to make a living. So I don't begrudge "start ups" the asking price for their software, if their software is useful to me and, during the evaluation period, the application works as promised I will buy it.

Cracking the little guy just leaves the big boys, like Microsoft, the dominant players that always calls the shots.
