Okay, so I made this little post about a few things involving my mom-in-law and Vista and PrintKey. Apparently someone is reading my blog... which is fine. It is public, but surprising. The reply was more of a sales pitch. That is also fine. PrintKey has worked great for my mom-in-law, if she likes it, she should pay the person who developed it... unless Windows starts including the functionality in the OS... which happens for lots of small software vendors... and large ones too.
Here's the kicker... In this day and age lots of people think that if something is on the Internet it is free. Deb isn't one to not use postal mail because of free e-mail. She still enjoys sending and receiving cards from friends and family. I think she would actually be open to paying for PrintKey. She did offer to pay for the computer upgrades I give her, but that's more of a family service thing. I wouldn't expect her to pay... I usually just give her spare hardware, and free support, and it keeps me in touch with people who don't spend all day in front of a computer, like I do.
Should I be looking for an alternative, or just tell Grandma to go digital, whip out the credit card and pay for the upgrade to PrintKey Pro? Dear LazyWeb ... um... I haven't ever really asked for much, but since I have a blog now, and people are starting to read it... I could really use an answer. It really doesn't seem like a significant issue that requires spiritual guidance, like a prayer request. I guess I could always just ask Deb if she wants to pay to keep using PrintKey...
Maybe there's a printkey-like program for the GNOME or KDE desktops that would be cool. Who knows. Could that be the "Killer App"?
