Sound and Programming in VB6

I don't want a "product" I want a lovenly made by hand "baby". When you start putting money into the equation then it becomes a product, which this world has more than enough of already. And you hit the nail right on the head, I do know very well what is involved, which is why I think my opinion carries a great deal of weight, more so than somene who has never released a fe before.
Of course people have the right to do whatever they want with their product, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to be disappointed in them for taking advantage of mame's success. Programming is free, it only costs time, so there really isn't any excuse to charge for a piece of software other than wanting to make money from it. I have no problems with donations, but if you have to donate to remove a nag screen then it isn't exactly a donation now is it? That's what we call shareware, call it like it is.
And it is very mature and upstanding of you to accuse me of not having a life. People only resort to personal insults when their side of the argument doesn't have a leg to stand on. I used to have the upmost respect for you but I can't stand a person that starts stamping his foot and starting a name-calling session just because they didn't care for someone's opinion.

Dude you gotta get off your high horse cos theres nothing more annoying than someone who thinks they know it all. And just because you've written a few FE's dosn't make you the King of this hobby nor does it make your opinion more mighty than anyone elses. And writing a FE hardly gives you some magical sacret knowledge of this hobby. You have your personal opinion on a nag screen. I don't call that shareware, but your entitled to your opinion. Next time if you want to mess up a thread by dropping a bombshell start a new topic or something. The way I see it you pay for everything that goes into your cab, so why should software be any different. If you feel obliged to donate and can afford it then you should. Ask anyone on the GameEx forums who's paid registration and they say they were happy to do so. Most do it to show their appreciation of the hard work by the author.
BTW I never said you didn't have a life you totally misread that. I said "don't bloody knock other people who have real lives, and expenses devoted to the software when registration helps out". Where in that sentance am I saying you have no life? It's not a comparison to you.

I actually have a color organ for l.e.d. lighting that i have converted from a 120v version. But that doesn't allow me the number of outputs that i needed and do patterns. By using software though a little more work gives you greater versatility.
