How many of you folks have ever showed your appreciation for a
certain Freeware/PD program by telling the author that you liked it?
Or made suggestions, or showed in some other way that you use and
like this software.
Especially in the case of utilities you use daily?
And why the heck is that braindead guy asking these questions?

Well, because as far as I can see TurboBackup 2.0 will never be
finished, released, at least not to the Public Domain. And this due
to the fact that the authors received less than five (count 'em)
comments or requests concerning their program.

I can say for my person (and to some extent for the whole Software
Brewery) that only feedback (of any flavour) keeps me producing PD
software (Thanks Kim, Lionel, et al). If I should ever get the
feeling that I'm only doing this for a faceless, greedy mass that
can't or won't say even thanks, I'd quit.

Is it really asking too much to say Hi to the folks whose pretty
little gems your using every day?
I for sure always try to do so.

Think about it...
