People calling me a cheap skate......hmph....you do a good deed and they
step on you.
 
Here the story:
  When I pay a shareware fee, I usually don't expect a free disk with upgrades.
How could the author cover the S&H when I pay 3 or 4 bux.  Now JR-comm is
different.  We aren't talking $5.00, we are talking $30.00!  
 
  
I have a shareware program out, NewList.  I only want $1.00.  Yes, only one  
green Georgie.  So far, I've collected 10 or so, and you know what....
they are all getting a disk in the mail.  Sure I may lose $.25
mailing covering the costs to send to Australia and Switzerland, but
hey, if they made the effort to mail me, I sure as hell can write them
back.

I feel that I'm providing a service....all for the benefit of us Amigans
and not my wallet.
 

Sheesh....whatever happened to being considerate of the customers.
I guess that went out after WW II.
