Iām slow to pay for software. Before I buy anything I check freeware and Open Source availability and generally find something as good, if not better, than the commercial offerings.
Really ā REALLY, this is not a function of being cheap. I have issues with many software developers after years of taking it where software was never meant to go.
Anyway, one piece of software that I did buy was FeedDemon ā the best, in my opinion, RSS reader in existence. FeedDemon was written by Nick Bradbury, the author of the cartoon Dexter, as well as some other neat software such as Homesite.
