This checkout BBS distributes software for the sole purpose of testing prior
to purchase. You have 24 hours to try the software and determine that it is
worth purchasing, then you must destroy it. The BBS SysOp feels that it is
unfair to computer users that they are unable to evaluate software to see if it
suits their needs. Many users have purchased products by the way the program
looks on the box and have been extremely disappointed - and have therefore
wasted their money and time. Nobody in their right mind would purchase a car
without test driving it first, or for that matter, purchase clothes without
trying them on, so how can software vendors expect users to buy one of their
products without first testing it? They will send copies of their software to
large corporations to test but seem to forget that there are also other users
in the market willing to purchase their product if it meets their needs. This
is where this checkout BBS comes in. This program is for evaluation only. If
you like this product, go to your local computer store and purchase it,
otherwise please do not use or in anyway distribute this product. There are
many advantages to purchasing this product including:
Technical Support
Software vendors set up technical support lines for the purpose of helping
their registered users get the most out of the product and help with any bug
concerns, etc. It is to your advantage to be able to use this and the many
features of the program.
Manuals
Manuals are a very important part of a software package. No book or text file
can replace the original manuals, which come with the product. This enables
the user to get the most out of the package, especially with the very complex
programs of today.
Upgrades
With buying the original program, you are entitled to low priced or free
upgrades to new versions, bug fixes, and enhancements.
Legality
Using a program without owning a registered copy is illegal.
Control of the Industry
When companies who create good products are supported, it reinforces the need
for good products and helps the company continue to create more quality
products. On the other hand, companies who create substandard products have
two options either improve their products or get out of the industry.
Until companies come up with a better way of allowing users to test their
products before purchasing, checkout BBSes will continue to make products
available for your testing. Companies recently have started to head in this
direction and you can now return some products to the company if you are not
completely satisfied, but this does not remedy the situation as the refund or
credit takes a long time to get processed and is a big hassle. We feel that
under the current software industry standards of doing business, evaluating
software releases prior to actual purchase is still the best solution.
REMEMBER, IF YOU DECIDE TO USE A PRODUCT, YOU MUST PURCHASE IT!
