The >*<THHG>*< distributes software  for the sole purpose of testing it 
prior to purchase. You have 24 hours to try the software and determine that 
it is worth  purchasing, then you must  destroy it. The >*<THHG>*< feels that 
it is unfair to computer user's that they are unable to evaluate software to 
see if it suits their needs. Many  users have purchased products by the way 
the program looks on the box and have been extremely disappointed with it and 
therefore have wasted their hard earned money. Nobody in their right mind 
would purchase a car without test driving it first, or for that matter 
purchase clothes without trying them on, so how can software vendors expect 
users to buy one of their products without first testing it. They will send 
copies of their software to large corporations to test but seem to forget       
there are also other users in the market willing to purchase their product if 
it meets their needs. This is where The >*<THHG>*< comes in. This program is 
for evaluation only, if you like this product then go to your local computer 
store and purchase it, otherwise please do NOT use this product. On the 
otherside, The >*<THHG>*< also feels it is unfair to the software vendors       
for you to use their product without owning the rights to it. There are many 
advantages to purchasing the product including:          
        
1) Technical Support: 
Software vendors set up technical support lines for the purpose of helping 
their registered users get the most out of the product and help with any bug 
concerns, etc. It is to your advantage to be able to use this.            

2) Manuals:           
Manuals are a very important part of a software package. No book or text 
file can replace the original manuals, which come with the product. This 
enables the user to get the most out of the package, especially with the 
complex programs of today.         

3) Upgrades:          
With buying the original program, you are entitled to low priced or free 
upgrades to new versions and bug fixes.         

4) Legality:          
To use program without owning a registered copy is illegal.         

5) When companies who create good products are  supported, it reinforces 
the need for good products and helps the company continue to create more  
quality products. On the other hand, companies who create substandard                             
products have two options; either improve their products or get out of 
the industry. Until companies come up with a better way of allowing users  
to test their products before purchasing, The >*<THHG>*< will continue       
to make available products for your testing. Companies recently have 
started to head in this direction and you now can return some products  
to the company if you are not completely satisfied (Norton, and a few others) 
but this does not remedy the situation as the money takes a long time to be 
returned and is a lot of hassle, trying the software first is still the best 
solution.            

In summary, if you decide to use a product, you must buy it!
