Birthdays and Such: What'sItWorthWare

About What'sItWorthWare

Birthdays and Such is shareware. Birthdays and Such is NOT a free or public domain program.

What is shareware?

1) If you keep using it, you must pay for it

As with most shareware, please try it for yourself for a day, a week, a month. Unlike most shareware, however, Birthdays and Such is What'sItWorthWare --user-determined pricing. You decide what Birthdays and Such is worth. Then send a money order or check (or even cash) with your name and email address(for a free copy of the bonus application Birthdays and Such Listmaker, along with any updates) to:

What's it worth to save your marriage? What's it worth to maintain a relationship with your parents? OK, maybe Birthdays and Such won't do that all by itself, but... :-)

International: Your local check will cost more to cash in the U.S. than the amount you write it for. Instead, send U.S. dollar bills. Or visit your local friendly post office and purchase an international money order in U.S. dollars. Or send payments via PayPal.com.)

Of course, if you don't like it, drag it to the Trash and you'll owe me nothing. But if you do continue to use it, you do owe me a fee--it's just that with What'sItWorthWare, you not only get to try the software before you pay for it, but you also get to decide its value. I don't care whether the amount you send is a dollar or a hundred dollars, provided 1) that you send me something, and 2) that what you send me represents some semblance of what you believe it's worth.

2) If you like it, share it with your friends and relatives

The second aspect of shareware is that it gets distributed by people who like it and use it-- sharing it with their friends. I urge you to share it. Your friends urge you to share it. (OK, they would if they knew you had it, and how useful it is to you.) Your friends deserve to know about the programs that keep your life together. Give them a disk with Birthdays and Such..., PopChar, The Tilery, TypeIt4Me, SCSIProbe, Quoter, DOSWasher, and the other freeware and shareware programs you couldn't do without.

When you do share Birthdays and Such, please keep it together with the sample Reminders file (you may want to add your birthday, so your friends are reminded of the most importantday of the year! :-), the manual, the quick-start guide, and any addendum or readme files, and pass them all on. You mustkeep the manuals with the program if you pass it on--that's the second shareware requirement. (What was the first again? Oh, right, paying the author...)

3) Don't modify the package except to add your own birthday(s)

The third restriction is that you cannot modify the program or manual in any way, sell it, or include it on a disk which is sold without my prior written consent. With the exception that not-for-profit clubs and user groups may charge a nominal fee (not to exceed $10) for expenses while distributing Birthdays and Such...

Make a contribution, get a bonus

When you send in a What'sItWorthWare contribution for Birthdays and Such, along with your email address, I'll send you, by return email, a free copy of the bonus application, Birthdays and Such Listmaker. Listmaker is a small application that transforms your Reminders file into a greeting card shopping list, complete with birthday ages and anniversary years.

Thank you in advance for keeping the What'sItWorthWare spirit alive!
