RE: [PCTECH] Zip programs

["Bob Crothers" <bob2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmmm,

A single user license of WinZip is $29.

And you make your living by selling software/computer services.

What would happen if your customers became "to cheap to pay for it"?  

I suspect $29 is 15-45 minutes of billable time for you.  And it would be a
business expense.

I also wonder if you recommend to your customers/employer that they should
also be "to cheap pay for it" when it comes to software?  Or
consultants...or employee's.

By using it without paying for it, you are stealing.  In my book, that makes
you a crook.  Who else do you steal from?  Will my software be next?
