I buy so little software anymore that the single-station Microsoft subscription seems like rather small compared to what I used to spend.

Many many moons ago, when I owned the original Amiga and PCs (though at work I used a Mac), I’d spend a whole lot more on software.

These days, an individual can get buy being totally software empowered with spending almost nothing on software.

Instead, our contemporary economy appears to have shifted the costing towards the networking. With Cox taking $75/mo from me just for internet (no TV packages), TMobile charging me monthly for phone, etc., that is where the money now goes.
