Even for old dudes in our fifties and working full-time, $60 is not insignificant.
What "commercial" software is available via these memberships? I am looking primarily for answering machine/voice mail/fax software, but am interested in what else is available to members, but not to me as a non-member.
Thanks,
Tom Ewald

I am not sure but I do not think so many people are willing to update their
systems twice a year. For me, I have sticked to 9.1 for about two years and
just I shifted to 10 recently. I believe people having similar ideas like me
are not a small number. We only update our systems when major relseases are
available. Of course we may update certain software before this kind main
update. So, I suggest that, if possible, Mandrake can set up a kind of
flexible membership other than the existing bronze, silver, gold ones. I mean
people can contribute to Mandrake whatever number (surely of money) they
want, what they get may be limited download numbers (e.g., 5 or 10 times a
year) or nothing at all. I believe some people would like this one. To be
honest after downloading 9.1 I planned to contribute some to Mandrake, but
when I found the least is $60, I gave up. Man, I must trust me $60 is not a
small number for a student.
