I aim for freeware but it's sometimes not possible. I'm particularly
interested in s/w which doesn't fill up the Registry with bloat. Some
of the best s/w products available are often payware but on the other
hand, much freeware is unbloated and does just what you want. Many
small freeware utilities around.
