No site yet, just me at the moment. I'm fed up making chess sets and want to get back to what I'm good at which is programming. I used to be a professional shareware author not too long ago and I'm trying to re-launch myself.

I'm thinking of going with a completely free version but with a host of premium features that the use can 'enable' for 30 days to try them out if they wish. If they don't then it simply remains free, if they do and decide not to upgrade, again, it reverts to the free version. If they do upgrade then I'm pretty happy about that Big Grin

Depends entirely on what the program is.
