I remember several years back (about spring '96) when I first discovered the joys of the internet and was amazed at the sheer number of goodies to be plucked. This was well before BeOS Intel, so I spent alot of time downloading Windows shareware programs. After a few months, however, the excitement died down considerably when I discovered an unfortunate truth: most of those shareware programs were complete crap. If they didn't crash within a few minutes, their interface was so awkward that I just couldn't stand to use them.
