@Jhollin1138,

Do you have possibilities to contact SRS?!? I don't think so, but I'm just curious to know!

Quote from: SynergieThere have always been and always will be skinners who make both freebies and a few 'babies' that they put alot of work into they sell as 'exclusive' skins. Just take a look at Juni's site and you'll find two exclusive skins with support for a variety of plugins that you can 'buy', however the rest on his site are free. So I don't think anything against the selling of the Everything Today skin for TP.

I also don't have a problem with a skinner selling a skin for TodayPlus or anything else. I feel the problem with Corbcut selling his skins is he announced that he was going to sell them before TodayPlus officially expired.

Quote from: SynergieHaving said that... I am getting the feeling from what I have read on here, that SRS does not want anyone to use TodayPlus anymore at all... am I correct in this assumption? Because why else would he build in an expiration in the first place? So in that sense... I guess we are all 'stealing' his program by using a .dll file to bypass his expiration.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. SRS doesn't seem to have a problem with the discussion of TodayPlus just its distribution. As far as the expiration date, he has stated that was included to limit the life of older versions from running. Basically making the Beta testers (which we all were) upgrade to the newest version. In a way minimizing the need to support older versions with problems that might have had bug fixes in the newer version.

Quote from: SynergieI am however still using it.... but I do feel really bad by using it. In the one case, it's a great program that had great potential, and it's a shame to let it die, and on the other hand, I feel like I am stealing. I wish I could have found something written BY SRS to the effect that it was 'ok' to continue using the most recent version. BUt I didn't see anything like that on here. I'd pay for TP if it was commercial.

I have never found that either. The closest I know of is the quote I made earlier by BenL at PDA Corps. Basically giving permission to continue discussing TodayPlus.

Quote from: SynergieOh, and Everything Today does not come bundled with TP12... it sais on there if you are having trouble finding a copy of TodayPlus 12, that you can email him and he will set u up with a copy. I searched high and low for ANY copy of Today Plus, and everyone on hre sais 'Google' but you can't find it.... trust me, I paged through about 50 google pages looking for a copy of any version. SO I emailed corbcut and got version 12. Runs beautifully on my ipaq 4155, I just can't give it up now that I am using it.

I still check for the availability of TodayPlus using Google regularly. I can always find it on the first page of the search. Just remember, it isn't the Palm version. Also, it is "TodayPlus" and not "Today Plus".

Quote from: SynergieIf I had known about the situation with this 'NOT SO FREE' program before I bought everything today, I might have decided against it. I just hope SRS can see the good side of things and the many people who love his work, and somehow get past the bad things that happened. And when he comes back I'll do my part with the beta testing and I hope he doesn't hate me too much for using TP12 in the mean time.

We all wish the same thing.

Obviously I have the email address he used to register his account.

I did email him once before I reopened the forum informing him of my intention, he never responded to it.

Wasn't that the plan?

Ripper · January 08, 2005, 02:39:32 PM

Just to make it clear... I did not say that Corbut was bundling TodayPlus with the skins... "I said basically bundling..." meaning that if you do not have the program he would supply it to you... I think anything other than saying he is bundling it would be splitting hairs...

And what really irks me more is that he is charging $40... which is at least twice what most quality programs sell for...

uk_skinner · January 08, 2005, 02:42:31 PM

This is bad.

The things posted on Handago, you can get them here for free. Plus radar image, image viewer and more....

srs, I wish you are here. You are the only one (I believe) who deserve any profit from TP.

ZapMe1 · January 08, 2005, 04:55:34 PM

$100.00 !!!

Going to need a "Gun and a Mask" to sell that one !!!!

Wichtel · January 08, 2005, 05:00:58 PM

Then the Hammerskin is an cheap produkt, only € 38,00 when for sale.

But all for free

He is charging 20.00 for the skin .... the 40.00 bundle includes a few other today screen plugins (which I didn't buy) I only got the skin. I agree that its a bit much for a skin though, but he did put alot of work into the graphics for it and the code. The price is comparable o a few other programs on Pocketgear.com that make the today screen look like XP.

Anyway now that I know what TP can do am also going to try out the other great skins here like the Hammerskin.

So basically buying his skin brought me here

uk_skinner · January 08, 2005, 05:36:49 PM

Quoteincludes a few other today screen plugins

I believed they all are TP skins and included in ET skin.
And you only can run one skin at one time.
