Shareware - How to find it, what is it, is it safe?  
 
First of all, I need to thank Paul and Mike of CYBER EXCHANGE (2650 North Ave. #103 in the Red Cliff Pointe Shopping Center 255-8488).  They were kind enough to host this months meeting while we are looking for a new meeting place.  We appreciate the hospitality. 

We should also thank PARTY LAND (next door to Cyber Exchange) for allowing us to use their phone lines for our Internet questions and presentations.

Shareware presents a dilemma for some people.  Some want to get it, but are afraid of its safety.  Others would like to obtain some shareware, but are unaware of how to start looking for it. 

Tonight, we discussed:

  • What is Shareware
  • How much does it cost
  • Is it safe - virus free
  • Where do you find it
  • What types of programs are available
  • How to download shareware
  • Once downloaded, how do you install it

Here are the links that we used to discuss shareware:
 
Jumbo the Download Network
CNET Online
CWSApps 

Much discussion ensued about shareware and we had a lively general Q&A session as well. 

Thanks to all who attended this month.
