FREE-[TO BE OR NOT TO BE FREE THAT IS THE QUESTION]
Monday, 31. March 2008, 07:35:13
On the web or even on the outside world, Why does the word free always gets us excited that we might get something for nothing. In the end it generally costs something, be it repairs to get that free car running again or something in the smallprint.
On the web, the word free does not always mean the product is totally free. There will sometimes be a catch.E.G.free downloads usually mean it is free to download a programme or product, but when you do it quite often turns out to be a trial offer with a few properties of the programme missing, so if you want the full programme you have to pay for it.
Freeware or open source is just that, it's free, but watch out these programmes could be missing important parts or worse still, someone knowing how people think about the word free,especially newbies without much experience on the web, might take advantage of that mental abberation of ours and use this oppertunity to slip a virus or bugs into their system.
So all I can say to you is to beware the word free, it could be the undoing of all your hard work, so THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK.
