What better way to spend $81?

Today I was a good citizen and registered my shareware. I don’t like spending money, but I sort of had to do it sometime. This is what I think is worth purchasing:

the spinning cursor

Mighty Mouse - $10 - because I like having a radioactive spinning cursor.
Transmit - $30 - since I’ve used it every day for years.
GraphicConverter - $31 - same.
PithHelmet - $10 - because life without ads is nice.

I also use Saft and Candybar, but it’s not like I couldn’t live without them.

somewhat too expensive isn't it?

it's a lot of money, but i think they're worth it.

It's good that you registered them because thats how the companies survive. It bothers me when people download things illegally; it really hurts the people who work hard in this world. Registering is different though; it's not quite as necesary, but I still respect you for doing it.

If I recall correctly, that was actually the symbol for a civil bomb shelter during the Cold War; the symbol for a radioactive source is also a trefoil, but it features a circle in the middle.
