RE: Public Software Development

Bob,

Oh my goodness, I had forgotten about that old Q38-BBS. That 8088 PC was 
given to a relative with the condition that he give it back when he could 
afford a PC of his own. Well about a year passed and he bought one and I 
ask for the old system back. He looked a me with a big question mark on his 
face and said "why would you want that thing back?

As it turned out he sold it for $200 to a guy he worked with and use that 
cash along with his new credit card to buy a brand new 486 (at the time it 
was new).  I was bummed.  ;(

What about shareware? I personally have paid for shareware that I use.
Would any shop consider small "token" payments for utilities and their
source code?
Just a thought.
BTW - Bob, THose Q38 days were GREAT. Remember the late nights BBSing on
old 8088 PCs?
