And who will buy them ? People who have either bought or are about to buy one of the major commercial programs and therefor want to know about the performance of their favourites . When talking about freeware you can download for free on the internet , where will you find valuable information ? Seems logical to look for it in netland ( your page currently being the best source IMO ) . there are some obvious conclusions you can make if you accept this as basic facts ; but you've probably figured this out a long time ago for yourself so don't want to bore anyone . regards . pete
