So very true. As the OpenOffice folks have discovered, you actually
often need to charge for something for people to use it - especially
companies. They frequently get questions like "so... how do I buy this,
anyway?" with people just refusing to take "just download it" for an
answer. "But then how do I prove I've bought it?".
So... there's a lot to be said for a small box with a CD in it and a
"getting started guide".
