But for users, a program is often more like a service than a tool: if you only occassionally need RAR Expander's help to access the contents of an archive, it's value to you may be not much more than $5 if you need to often expand RAR archives, RAR Expander may be worth more to you. Most commercial software is priced like a tool: like a screwdriver, Apple's iWork costs $79 no matter how much you use it. How much you should donate is really up to you to decide! I find it hard to put a price on software. :) Alas, so far only a few people (less than 5!) have made a donation, so I'm hoping that in the future more users of RAR Expander will recognize this plea: if you like RAR Expander and have some use for it, please consider making a donation!
While I'm not expecting to get rich from RAR Expander, I was hoping the donations would pay for the occassional pizza and coke for RAR Expander programming sessions. And then there is the additional work that comes with making it available to others: answering support requests and handling bug reports. I originally made RAR Expander simply because I needed a good RAR expansion application myself, but since then I have spent a lot of time on providing preferences, help files, GUI design, proper error handling, making it faster etc.
