Chris Pirillo asks, "What was the last piece of software that YOU bothered to register?" Good question! Recently I've registered Omni Outliner and NetNewsWire. The next app to get my money will be Kung-Log (which is donationware). Since I've switched to OS X I've become much more aware of the work of developers creating shareware. Some of it is probably because I think they really do drive a lot of the Mac software world. Looking at my dock I'd say almost 1/3rd of the apps there are shareware or freeware. When it comes down to it, these are the people who I want to see getting my money. They seem to be much more aware of my needs.
This actually brings up something else I'd like to say to some of the big graphics program makers (though it applies to a certain company and their suite of office programs too). Give us some consumer versions of stuff. It doesn't have to be the super deluxe model that a pro version would have. And price it under $50. I'm not going to use much more than 10-20% of the features of your current application. I just need something to play around with simple graphics. Kind of like one step above MacDraw/MacPaint (whatever happened to those anyways. I used MacDraw for so many projects in college and now you can't find really find anything like it). Or does anyone else have things to recommend for us OS X users? Is there an equivilant to Paint Shop Pro for Windows (Yikes, when did this jump in price too?).
