This along with donations.
true but if everyone was like me they would never get donations. love freeware, but you won't see me donating as that would defeat the purpose. Speaking of freeware check out granola http://download.cnet.com/Granola/3000-2094_4-75182521.html[QUOTE="Atmanix"][QUOTE="Serraph105"]

If I really enjoy a piece of software or website I'll donate a few dollars. The one site I go makes roughly $500 in donations a month according to them.
