Worth every penny

captain_slinkySo that $30 bit of Collectorz.com Comic Book Database Software that I got for free a few days ago... been using it pretty much every night since I got it and I now have an opinion.
It is worth every penny I paid for it, and not a single cent more.
Like, as *freeware* it would be awesome. Doesn't seem to update very often (comics published 5 months ago by major publishers aren't in the database yet), adding unknown comics is doable but cumbersome (have to click away from the add screen to go to a different add screen and type all the info by hand), Alphabetization is annoying (Every title that starts with "The" is filed under "T" with no way to change it), no linking to price guide info... little things that are annoying but totally workable because it's free and has no subscription price. The other piece of Comic Collecting software I had been looking at is awesome and addresses every one of my complaints that i have with this software, but it's a subscription service that costs about $10 a month :(
Good stuff about the software I'm using now: Easy point-and-click interface, great use of thumbnail images, ability to customize as many fields as need be and it's FREE (normally $30).
It works, but I'm glad I didn't pay for it :)
