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:

Did anyone actually recieve a free licence.
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:

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.

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. :)
