this is an excellent example of what's wrong with a lot of shareware, i.e. the authors are far, far too greedy and trying to charge far, far too much. file buddy is a dandy utility, great at what it does, but it really should be $20-25, imho. one of the motivations for shareware is to fight the grossly overpriced products from big companies, and then the authors go and get greedy. i use filebuddy 4.5, because i can use it without registering it (i will send something reasonable when i can, i do feel it's important to pay for reasonably priced shareware). it does all i need, and i think the registration fee for that version is a lot less than what they apparently want for v7 ($35, still too high for a utility). again, filebuddy is a fine package, but the current versions are grossly overpriced (are you listening authors?!). there are other utilities that will do the same things, i've just gotten used to filebuddy. before i finally pay for filebuddy, i'll probably look at the other apps again, i'd prefer to reward more reasonable authors and better authors. seriously, os x only cost about $100, compare that programming effort to many shareware and commercial packages and you'll get disgusted pretty quickly.
