Will the Trialware Professional Association be at SIC?

[Gary Elfring]

The 10th annual Shareware Industry Conference is
scheduled to take place Thursday, July 13 through
Saturday, July 15, 2000 in Tampa, Florida. This will
be the largest gathering of shareware developers and
service providers ever held. Come and meet some of
the best and the brightest shareware authors around.

All the major shareware trade organizations will be there,
but I'm not sure about the Trialware Professional Association.

The 3 day conference costs only $99. This fee covers
all seminar sessions (3 full days worth) and all exhibits.
You also get discount rates at the conference hotel- only
$85 per night for a standard room.

The seminar sessions cover topics like:

o Launching a new product
o Affiliate label programs
o Drawing traffic to your web site
o Meet popular media reporters
o Programming language round tables
o E-commerce reviews
o Packaging a product
o XML
o Contract negotiations
o Selling your business
o Tools for web site design
o Using press releases
o How to price your products
o Creative web advertising
o And much, much more!

The conference also hosts the annual Ziff Davis PC
Magazine shareware awards, and finishes on Saturday
with a formal dinner, a popular comedian for
entertainment, and the annual Shareware Industry
Awards!

even register on-line!

Gary, why would he want to go to a "shareware" conference?

Maybe if somebody was holding a TIC instead of a SIC then he would come?

I sincerely doubt it. Why on Earth would you ever think it would?
One of the driving forces of the TPA is to dissociate it's members
from the term "shareware". So why would it be at the SIC?

So why is the word shareware plastered all over your own web site,
Michael?

Six times on this page alone: http://www.cyber-matrix.com/delphisw.htm

Better yet. He defines "trialware" as "shareware"
on a page he copied from an ASP members
webpage on piracy (scroll down to the definition of trialware)
http://www.trialware.org/piracy.html

Then why are you in this "shareware" group?

Then why do you post in the Assoc. Shareware Professionals public newsgroup?

You and your (virtually) memberless organization with your "anti-shareware"
crusade are nothing but a trouble maker, a newsgroup "troll" with your
"certain ASP members spread lies" crap, and a hypocrite to boot.

Also, you bring ALL of this on yourself. None of us could care a lick about
the fact that you call your evaluation edition a "trialware" product instead
of a "shareware" product. But you don't stop there. You prefer to piss on
the term shareware and the people who use it.

You disgust me!
