And mine: if TheBat!roSoft goes out of business tomorrow (God
forbid!), I'll still have an email program I like a lot. Not love --
text editors and email clients don't have a lovable nature -- but like
a whole lot. And I'll bet it won't stop working.
Besides, how do you think small companies get to be big companies?
When people pay for the products. I've given my money to enough
weasels over my life that it's a joy to send my money to somebody
who's doing good things.
And finally, folks who buy it in Europe, it's not like you're paying
for it with real money. ;-)
