Out of 7360 downloads, the first person just paypal'ed me the $3 shareware fee.



YAY! I'd figure I'm making 3 cents an hour as a programmer!

    Physics 101, I'd guess from his signature. Isn't that actually freeware or donation-ware, though?

    Whatever "ware" it is, it has to be an incredibly useful program. It does many physics equations as well as a few math ones (i saw slope in there)



    i am planning on buying this one as soon as i get my paypal going! <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

    According to VersionTracker, Physics 101 is free. It also links you to an outdated website. The link from within the app itself goes to the new praetersoftware.mine.nu site.



    On that site I see no evidence of any shareware fees for any of the software available.



    Hint: Some people might actually pay if they knew it wasn't freeware, regardless of the fact that the software is full featured to everyone.



    Or do you have another piece of software and we're not talking about Physics 101?

    I just realized macupdate.com messed up, it was suppose to be freeware and they put down $3 shareware. It use to be shareware, but since no on paid I made it freeware again.



    I'm gonna reject his payment, to be fair.
