I agree.

It has always amazed me that some people in the MS-DOS world can actually make
a comfortable living writing shareware. Maybe it's the general maturity level
of the type of user. The only shareware author I know of in the Apple world is
the author of Red Ryder. <Then again... the "type" of user (Mac versus // or
II) made that possible> And I believe he finally went commercial. 

(Make that the only "successful" shareware author I know of in the Apple....)
