hey.

i think all of you people know about 30 day free trials and such a things. Well, they really suck on the nowadays, since, my 30 day trial on midi maker, capturewiz and camtasia studio are already over, and i still use them without a problem.

-midi maker just opens a site and tells you to buy the whole version, but at the same time it opens the program itself. lol.
-cw just works normally expect one inform.
-camtasia studio... well my brother hacks all time long so now it works for good. a bit of hacking won't hurt anyone. only that i can't change those, that i already made.

just telling, if you want to know. 8i think you don't)

Yeah, that's quit nice.

By the way Skull, how's the D-Moding coming around?

badly. Very badly. my rise to power d-mod won't be finished in time. but i'm trying to do as much as I can.

making d-mods is pretty hard with three fingers in use.

"... Three fingers?"

Yeah, he was involved in a terrible accident this spring.

You can do it! I struggle as well... Got five fingers but it isn’t going fast nonetheless.

11 days left...

There are coming more and more free and/or open-source alternatives in existence, so you might want to look around for those (especially on sourceforge.net, a HUGE repository of open-source software. And I guess Google Code).

Instead of Camtasia, use something like CamStudio.
For MIDI Maker... I dunno, at least not for Windows. For Linux there's the awesome app RoseGarden which comes close to rivalling older versions of Cubase, I guess.

Shareware is often pretty good, but you can usually get an as good or almost as good program for free, open-source or whatever reason. Try this, it's fun just to browse through if nothing else.

Camtasia 3 used to be free. Ha.
