   No it's because people who distribute freeware programs do not pay big
bucks for advertising their product like the commercial software providers
do. It's economics pure and simple. It is a good thing that word of mouth
works. I would never have found POV-Ray had someone not posted a raytraced
image on a local BBS a few years ago. I got curious about the image and
finaly found the software that produced it. The rest is history :)
