There are some utilities/apps that seem to be in areas where people will pay for an excellent product because 
they need something better than is on offer at no fee.

Categories include:
Backup/Restore/Disaster recovery
Fax and associated telephony
Professional level IDE development systems / compilers
and others.

These are areas where the freebies are not really up to snuff. Email clients are certainly not good enough yet 
and free ones will come as part of desktops etc. They may well be as threatining to PMM as the mailers that 
come with OS/2 or winXX. At present there is no visible commercial fully featured emailer for Linux.

I want one and, if the quality was there, would promote it to my audiences/customers. As I don't get discounts 
my promotions are certainly not prompted by reward prospects but happy customers come back to where the good 
advice came from.
