Hi, Agreed. One thing about freeware verses commercial is the commercial developers have to make a more superior product than the freeware products already on the market. This is good old competition and that often is the driving force behind innovation and better products. So using your

Hi, Exactly, and after the software market collapsed no one would be willing to become a programmer. There would be no money in it. They may as well be a lawyer, doctor, or something else. They'd make more money at Wal-Mart as a checkout clerk than they would doing programming if everything
