I would. It's a good app.

Not to go into a rant here, but if he can get people to pay (and he
does) then by all means let him. His prices are not exhorbitant by
any means, and he offers a package deal. He still supports his
product and I've never been left hanging when I've written him with a
question. I have more of a problem with commercial and shareware
programs that drop off the face of the earth with no means of support
or ability to even get the product.

That being said, I've never asked people to pay for any of my work,
because I don't think it's of commercial/shareware quality. To me,
it's a hobby. to him, it's more.

YMMV. I'll shut up now.

later,
