>I agree about those subscriptions. They're pernicious and I'm constantly trimming them. I just whacked $100/month off the cable TV bill.

Ironic - it's either free or often vastly overcharged...

This is accelerating the process of for pay software getting less and less prominent. THere are a few pieces of software that I've looked at that I would have gladly paid for but not at the insane pricing that the vendor often offers. This drives customers away and towards the free model.

The middle ground - reasonably priced (and licensed) software - is what's rapidly going away.
