If you are going to do it ... Do it with an ATTITUDE!
Please note that PWA is NOT accepting pay sites of any nature.... We're
in this for fun and entertainment, not to try to make ourselves rich. :)
────────────────────────────────┤ Final Note ├─────────────────────────────────
║ Support the software companies! If you enjoy using a program or using a ║
║ Util, consider buying it! Someone's got to make it worth the programmer's ║
║ effort to keep up the high standards... They made it, so they DESERVE it! ║
