RE: Michael Domino's suggestion of a shareware co-op.

If you want to see shareware that makes payment easy, take a
look at TAPCIS, the shareware CompuServe access program.  When
it comes up, you have the opportunity to give it your name,
addr, and charge card #.  Then, if you go online before exiting
the program, it automatically sends your registration to the
author via E-mail.

Most of the peope I know who do register with shareware suppliers
(some never do) have a mental list of those packages they intend
to register.  As the cash flow permits, another check goes out.
One way to move to the head of this list is to make registration
easier.
