    505 that color, but it still seems not to work!?!? I've no idea what to do

    1001 .*any longer!
    1002 :p.&progname. is now released under the GPL, but as I'd still like to know
    1003 who uses my programs, the following still applies &colon.-)
    1004 
    1005 :p.You can become a registered user for &progname. just by :link
    1006 refid=author reftype=hd.sending an e-mail (or postcard or whatever) to
    1007 me:elink.. Actually this is required, if you use &progname. (more than once a
    1008 year or so ;-). Just write something like "Hi, I use your program &progname.!"
    1009 and I'm satisfied. If you do :hp1.not:ehp1. want to be included in the mailing
    1010 list for news and infos about &progname. do not forget to tell me!
    1011 
    1012 But I think there are some people out there who have seen &progname.,
    1013 worked with it for a while but just don't want to register by writing me a
    1014 mail. Well, for you I've assembled this list of ...
    1015 :p.:hp2.The Top 10 reasons why not to register &progname.:ehp2.
    1016 
    1017 :ul compact.
    1018 
    1019 :li.In my opinion, &progname. is a pretty bad program. I don't like the buttons,
    1020 the window or the other stuff it offers. I even heard, that there once really
    1021 was found a bug! Not to mention the crappy support; writing an e-mail to get
    1022 help is far to complicated.
    1023 
    1024 :li.I'm totally satisfied with anything that &progname. 1.45 offers. I'll
    1025 find my own workarounds for this bugs that might be discovered! I'm never
    1026 going to use whatever features might be added! So spare me by your updates ...
    1027 
    1028 :li.Who cares for info on new releases? Why should I get on yet another of
    1029 these mailing-lists? My mailbox is overflowing on a regular base and I'm
    1030 daily checking the "incoming" directory of Hobbes anyway!
    1031 
    1032 :li.I just can't spare the time to write a mail to you! See, I've got a job,
    1033 a wife, 10 kids or so, a girlfriend, a car, a house, a swimming pool and
    1034 1000 desktops that I still haven't captured, so I'm really busy night
    1035 and day! I really don't want to think of what I would miss in this lost five
    1036 minutes ...
    1037 
    1038 .*:li.$10 is far too much money for this program! For this big amount I could,
    1039 .*well, buy half of an audio CD! I could go out to dinner with my friend (well,
    1040 .*at least if we have already eaten before). I could think of thousand things
    1041 .*more ...
    1042 
    1043 :li.Why should I make you feel that it's a good thing to develop software for
    1044 OS/2? There are far to many programs for OS/2 already, we don't want to get
    1045 the market oversupplied, do we?
    1046 
    1047 :li.There are lot's of other programs out there, that do the thing! Well ok,
    1048 maybe they don't have that nice PM interface, might be that they are lacking
    1049 a lot of the functionallity that &progname. offers and maybe actually there
    1050 are only one or two of them, but at least I don't have to spend hours and
    1051 hours writing longish mails to their authors!
    1052 
    1053 :li.I don't find supporting the mailware concept of any use. Developers
    1054 giving away fully working programs and then hoping that someone actually will
    1055 write a mail when using them, when (s)he can get away without, are an all too
    1056 trustfull bunch of fools!
    1057 
    1058 :li.Why should I try to support OS/2 software? OS/2 is dead, believe me!
    1059 "I'm Bill Gates of MicroBorg. This OS will be assimilated. Development is
    1060 futile."
    1061 
    1062 :li.The idea of kidnapping innocent pixels from the screen and imprisoning
    1063 them in stupid, useless, conformistic bitmaps violates my religious and
    1064 moral beliefs! People providing the means to allow such terrible crimes are a
    1065 shame to the whole society of computer users! This is most surely another proof
    1066 of the depravity of the modern world. Things like that would never have been
    1067 possible back in the good old days ... [Author's note&colon. You bet! Ever
    1068 tried to make a "screen capture" of a dinosaur's front-panel diagnostic
    1069 lights? ;-]
    1070 
    1071 :li.I can't write! I don't know how to send e-mail!! I don't even have an
    1072 account!!! And I'm using Windows!!!!
