Well, this is a hobby project and I have to select how I want to
spend the little time I have for hobbies. Currently, I choose to
add more features to Just Learn Morse Code and later I might want to
spend some time on regular ham activities rather than just extending
my working hours without being paid...

I've been following this for awhile and I find it ironic that someone
takes the time to create a piece of software and then offer it free to
anyone who would like to use it only to have a bunch of complainers
giving you flak that they don't like it or aren't getting there monies
worth.

If that was all I got I would have given up. But fortunately, I get
positive feedback, too. A lot of people send me encouraging emails, a few
people (like yourself) make positive comments on newsgroups and there has
even been a few donations.

(It's not like I'm going to get anything substantial out of this in terms of
money, but the very idea that somebody is willing to part with money when
they don't have to is a very strong indication that what I have created is
perceived as valuable to others.)

Also, checking the download counter has been very encouraging. Approaching
2000 downloads after just a couple of weeks of "air time" is WAY beyond what
I expected for a Morse code learning program.


Thank you for your efforts and providing it free in the best of
amateur radio traditions.

Thank you !
