Don't know if this is old news to you, but I just noticed GMPCM is back on-line. No mention of his absence, and no free access to bin files anymore, but, for registered users, this is a good thing, No?
I for one am probably going to take my business to the Mega Squirt shareware grassroots efforts of Mssrs Bowling & Grippo, because I just don't like the idea of investing time and money in software and hardware and then have the person who is the sole support for the endeavor flake out. I am sure he felt he had reasons for doing what he did, but he also screwed over his paying customers. Really a shame, because I was absolutlely rooting for the guy prior to his abandoning his customer base.
Mega Squirt, OTOH, is a collaborative shared group effort, so even if its founders were to simultaneously shoot each other, or get mad at their entire user base, support would continue through the shareware collaborative.
