Tracy, what does MOOT mean? (I'm Dutch.)
>He has a valid point. However, the # of downloads of your shareware program could also prove his point moot.

>>Thanks for the support. For me too, thanks to ADSL, size is no longer an item. But for shareware to become a success, most times you have to attract many people, including those who have minimal/marginal machines/connections. (My application is meant for people who work behind a computer all workday long, so I think it'll be no problem as most of these people have good machines/connections.) One successfull sharewaremaker I spoke with on the _conference_, when I mentioned .NET, said that .NET applications require a 30 Mb library already installed on the user machine. For that reason he kind of ridiculed .NET as platform for shareware development for the time being.
