Hi Jeff,
You gave a good perspective on things. I have to agree with you in
particular on Nagware. Anything that nags me more than once (or in a
particularly offensive fashion) I wouldn't pay for just out of spite :)
You brought up an excellent point about "falling in love" with a
product. Even save disabled versions can limit this - there's nothing
like being able to use software in the way you would use it if you
bought it. Perhaps a time limited demo would be good, but which limits
the total time using it rather than the length of time since first
launch.

Hi os,
I'll answer as a *consumer* as to what has worked for me...
<snip>
- nagware demo (fully featured but with an annoying splash screen,
like
Graphic Converter)
I've bought several of these, system utilities mainly. But all the
ones i've
bought are ones that only nag occasionally. The ones that nag all the
time
I delete before I get a chance to really learn about them or like them.
