I like it.  Although I really don't have much of a problem with corporations
using the net to post demos (after all, they do help support the cost of
maintaining the net!), I definitely like the proposed emphasis on freelance
shareware/freeware.

I strongly support the current method of handling the Tech Notes, though:
one big batch of them all at once, periodically.  This way, it's much harder
to miss them when they come around.  :-)
