I have no connection with Paragon Concepts other than being a very happy
customer.  I've tried MS Word and have been very frustrated at its limitations.
I'm glad that I didn't buy a PERSONAL copy of MS Word to find out the hard way.
I found out about Nisus way back when it was still version 1.10 through
postings by people such as jOn and appreciate their input so that I don't make
costly errors.  Unlike big companies, I don't have the cash available to buy a
product, find out it's not as good as I had expected, stick it on a back shelf
to gather dust and go try another brand.  So long as the demo is free, I don't
see what the problem is. After all, worse come to the worst, I could always do
with another 3.5" diskette that I can erase and reuse...  And, if the product
does meet my expectations, hey, well, I'll consider buying it instead of its
competitor.

Of course, I also understand the point made that it is sometimes frustrating to
not know how to do something in whatever package you are using.  And that, once
you've already plunked down your money and already have the package, you might
as well find out all the ways to use it to the fullest.  Postings about other
packages can sometimes be annoying to see, especially if they're a reply to
your query. (Deity knows, I've made some mistakes along these lines before.)
