Recently I&#8217;ve registered <a href=\"http:\/\/www.omnigroup.com\/applications\/omnioutliner\/\">Omni Outliner<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/ranchero.com\/netnewswire\/\">NetNewsWire<\/a>.  The next app to get my money will be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kung-foo.tv\/kunglog.php\">Kung-Log<\/a> (which is donationware). Since I&#8217;ve switched to OS X I&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>This actually brings up something else I&#8217;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&#8217;t have to be the super deluxe model that a pro version would have.  And price it under $50.  I&#8217;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&#8217;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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jasc.com\/products\/paintshoppro\/\">Paint Shop Pro for Windows<\/a> (Yikes, when did this jump in price too?).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Pirillo asks, &#8220;What was the last piece of software that YOU bothered to register?&#8221; Good question!
