Support Software

One thing I notice anymore is folks like a free lunch, but then again, who doesnt? Software - namely “Freeware” or a lot of common “Open Source” apps are great, and in a week of using the iMac I have come to appriciate a lot of free apps - and made small donations - have you done the same?

Don’t get me wrong, they are not asking for anything, but these folks are traditionally workin folk, they have 9-5 jobs, families, bills, etc. and they provide the software for free - usually footing the bill for hosting, bandwidth, not to mention the countless hours devloping the software - and in the mac case, re-working their code to be Intel Mac compatible, so my hats are off to these workin stiffs who make great apps. If you have a few bucks to spare in your PayPal account, donate to your favorite Open Source or Freeware project, let the devlopers know they are doing a good job.

And that completes my 4am rant, good morning, and have a good memorial day!
