Dang, I missed that.
Non-free software worth paying for.

I write it as 'µ'.
Anyway, I've never bought any software except games. I use Notepad for text editing, and everything else is useless for me
Hehe. Hmm, well of course I write it 'µ' on paper. You see, I spent some time on a forum where it's used regularly. 75% of posters would use 'u'. 10% of posters would complain that it should be 'µ" and 5% would complain that the complainers were being counter-productive.

Not worth using for any price, it simply tries to deal with symptoms of an underlying problem which needs fixing.
If you're using the reset button frequently, something is wrong with your computer. My computer was last rebooted 3 weeks ago, to install updates.

I rebooted it a few times yesterday (soft boot) because a program was buggering up on me, also to install updates.
Edit: Oh, and another reboot because I killed my CD drive. I saw it in Safely Remove Hardware and I removed it just to see what would happen. But when I rebooted, it came back.

Definitely worth it for font enthusiasts like myself: Adobe Font Folio 11

Thats interesting. But rather expensive.
You like fonts? If you have XP or Vista, go to Run, and type in eudcedit.

I'm a connoisseur of fine fonts.
Its like a person who enjoys paintings. Sure, I could look at paintings for free on deviantart, or I could pay to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
$2600 is a bargain for such a fine folio of fantastic fonts. I would have happily payed $10,000.
Agreed, but when a person has other priorities for their $10,000 they begin to ask questions like: Is there a good reason I need to pay this much to get this product or is the price set that high purely because the seller figures he can get that much for it? Such a quandary is enough to inspire some to find another way.

Whether or not it's worth it depends on your requirements. If you have non-professional requirements and are using them to judge the value of professional software then that might not make sense for a lot of people. Fireworks is a good example because nothing matches it. There are other image editing programs but nothing with a comparable set of web graphics and layout features.
What non-free software is worth paying for, to me? Considering my needs, and excluding games (which, IMHO, are generally worth paying for, if the publisher requires it), I would have to say ... nothing.
Everything I need is free, most of it free as in freedom. Everything I want is also free *(except for a few games).
Some of the software is *worth* as much as proprietary, commercial interests charge for similar things, but it is all distributed free of charge.

I would tend to agree with this. I do have one want, however, that seems to elude me. Would anybody happen to know of a free "good" macro recorder? Basically the free version of this which may itself meet this thread's criteria for certain people.
