patronus4000 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 Step #3: FREE Doesn’t Come CheapI must say that this doesn't relate exactly to the notion of "free." Yes, I know that time is very valuable, and so is one's effort and sanity, but don't you have to put in time and effort for everything? If you buy a program, you still have to learn how to use it, read the help files, etc. And if you download completely free software, you still go through the same learning process.But I do agree with you that a lot of things called "free" aren't free at all, especially with the advertisements. Some things, however, really are free though. Like Firefox and their extensions. Opera, the GIMP, Inkscape, Terragen. They cost nothing to you, and yet they're just as good as the same software you have to purchase.Good article; I think you really accomplished what you wanted to with it. =)Serena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
