Free! The right price point for software
I love new tech. By that I mean, tech that is new to me. So I am playing around now with Windows Live Writer, which allows you to write and publish blog posts from your desktop. It has a slick interface. Took longer to install, though, than a 5 MB download ought to and tried to get me to install several other programs with it. But it didn’t try too hard. (Here’s the WikiPedia article on WLW.)
Did I mention that WLW is free? That’s the new tech I most love, the free stuff. When I was a kid, way before Al Gore invented the Internet, you didn’t have a lot of companies giving away technology. It’s a helluva business model.
The thing I most want to test is uploading an image. Let’s see, what picture should I include here? Something from another decade, I think. How about the 1980s?
When we were young.
