AB  - Laments the fact that new and expensive software upgrades are not
always a step forward, and can, in fact, be costly mistakes if they are
not what the buyer wanted in the first place. Introduces the concepts of
′shareware′ – software that can be given a trial run before being
purchased, and ′public domain′ software, which is available free of
charge to be used by any member of the public. Lists a few of the better
shareware programs and places where it can be obtained.
