i don't think there would be much point in a 14 day trial if you could keep doing that. if you want the progs then why not buy them?

Well, you see...That's not really the point of the software company allowing you to have a trial period.

Once the trial period is up..if you like it they expect you to buy it.

If you re-install the sofware your trial period with still be up, I guess it stores a small amount of information in the system registry.

If you like the software then buy it 😃

J puts it over very well. Obviously you like the demo (otherwise you wouldn't want to continue using it). Now is the time to pay the authors - and think of it this way as well... if the authors see money coming in, they'll write more.

If they see people and mesages on bopards such as this exchanging hacks and codes, they'll move over to another device.

Let's not burn bridges here folks... Play Fair With Shareware.

my thoughts exactly. these apps are useful and practical, it's worth the money. we're even fortunate to get to try em out. my suggestion, if you want to save money, is to choose the best and most useful app then buy that. im sure if you can afford an expensive phone such as the 7650, you'll be able to afford a small price for apps which will most likely range from $15-$20.
