Hi Vic, Could I twist your arm and ask you to write up a short review of the freeware version? I'd like to get a user's opinion for an upcoming newsletter. You can get some ideas on how I put together a review here: http://freewarewiki.pbwiki.com/WriteYourOwnReview Thanks, Clif http://clifnotes.net & http://freewarewiki.pbwiki.com Devoted to promoting Freeware and Free Information

I applied and got nothing. According to their website I must have : used wrong or anti-spam protected email, which required manual input or used non-existing name to register their forum also has people posting that got no licence. How convenient that all these people used wrong email addresses. Seems to me a lot of companies are using the freeware community to develop/debug their products, then they drop the free part or restrict the products. I realise developing software is time consuming but can't help but feel used.

Yahbut let's not attack the GOOD guys. EPIM has posted about the free version of EssentialPIM several times - here's one such post: <q> Subject: Re: Otak PIM From: "Maxim" <epiminfo(a)essentialpim.com> Date: 11 Jul 2005 05:48:12 -0700 Newsgroups: alt.comp.freeware Hello everyone! >> On the other hand there is now a $war? version of >> Ess.PIM, after they experimented with a freeware version. So one must >> fear for the continuation of the free version in the long run. there is not need to worry. We strongly state, that, as before, EPIM Free will be developed along with the Pro version. Releases of new versions of "Free" and "Pro" will go hand in hand, adding new features. For those who believes in power of money- we do not believe that discontinuation of a Free version will bring us more paid clients. We also love developing Free version, alghough it might sound strange nowadays. Max EPIM Team <q> ALSO NOTE: As a service to the ACF community Epim hosted the ISO of the PL2005 CD on their web site when it first came out and demand was high. My thanks to Max and EPIM. Keep up the good work. :) Susan -- Posted to alt.comp.freeware Search alt.comp.freeware (or read it online): http://www.google.com/advanced_group_search?q=+group:alt.comp.freeware Pricelessware & ACF: http://www.pricelesswarehome.org Pricelessware: http://www.pricelessware.org (not maintained) |
