I have no problem paying shareware fees except I am poor. So I don't
hack shareware I just never use it. My big arguement isn't against
add-ons. It's that the add-ons are needed to make the hardware useful.
Apple just didn't make the device well enough to start with. Who wants
to have to spend extra to get it to work? I wish I could get the
shareware for much less.
