Nerdboy's rant.
« on: February 05, 2011, 11:08:33 PM »
One of my pet peeves is when you type say free graphics software and google comes up with a bunch of links and almost everyone you click on is a free 30 day free trial this to me is not free software.
 Gimp , crap cleaner and so on are free I wish google would be more precise so that you don't have to wade through all this so called free software that these sleazy misleading companies put out there and call free it really ticks me off .
It would be akin to us saying you can get free graphics help here at pixel mansion and then telling you it is only free  for 30 days and then if you don't pay we will take our graphics back.
It is trial software not free , free is free as in you can use it for free as long as you want to. :cheers:

Yeah, I hate that too. But technically, even the trials are free...until the trial period ends. LOL

I disagree free software is supposed to be free and a free trial is a free trial so when you type free software into google  links to free software should come up not links to free trials .
This would be in my perfect world where things were logical and King Nerdboy was in charge .

I wish that Gimp was easier for me to use. I'm too used to Adobe stuff.

If it was easy I guess nobody would need Pixel Mansions help and there would be no reason for us to exist. :cheers:
