Noah! Is $15.00 (US) Shareware Shareware works like this: You download and evaluate shareware software for a reasonable amount of time (usually a few weeks), at no cost, to decide whether it is the right program for you. If that is indeed the case, then you support the program author's efforts with a "registration fee." Because shareware is usually distributed at no cost to the author via the Internet, the prices for shareware programs are typically less than 50% of the cost of an equivalent program sold in stores. More than that, support for shareware programs is excellent, because support is almost always provided by the person who wrote the program, not the distributor or publisher. For a unique viewpoint of shareware, you might want to hear from the man who started it all, the "Father" of Shareware, on the web at <www.halcyon.com/knopf/jim/> Registering Noah!
