This is a question that is as old as computing itself!
But!
Why pay?
There are three good reasons why you should pay for shareware:
- It gives you a nice warm feeling inside to know you have done something good.
- You are helping to support (and therefore encourage) the army of shareware authors that have helped make the Mac what it is today.
- Shareware is generally cheap, hopefully it works, and solves particularly niche problems that the 'big boys' may not be interested in.
Why pay for Power on X?
- Power on X is a native Cocoa application specifically developed for Mac OS X.
- Purchasing a licence key will stop the annoying snag screen when you start the application.
What do I get for my money?
- A nice warm felling for supporting shareware development.
- The ability to use Power on X without a delay for the nag screen to clear.
- Access to table generation (useful for confirming the accuracy of Power on X by comparing with published power tables)
