This was a post about the current "Freeware death" issue. 


Greetings! 

Sorry for the long delays in posting information but the Team at Andromeda.net has been busy working to make
freeware possible. I seem to be the focus of so much attention I thought it fair to pay tribute to the 
real heros of freeware. The Knights and ladies in the followings channels, the order is random:
#DSSTech, #Dishnet #Dssprojects, #Looped, #Warez and #Coasters. Yes it takes a complete Network to make a Team.
The channels interact and help test, release and produce the finest freeware on the Net. 

These are not easy times for coders, many have been pressured by Greed or colleagues to stop posting freeware.
Not all have coders have went pay, there are a few still working in secret to keep freeware alive.
Many of these Coders that work in freeware have chosen to hide their identity rather then have Goons on pay
sites posting their info for Dave to have. To these courageous Knights and Ladies of freeware,
I cheer you this day as I have with each day of free TV. 

We made promises to the users of this Site and the IRC network to Keep Freeware alive.
Well, I think we have kept that promise. I would like to clarify a statement made by so many. 
The statement was The end of freeware What should have been posted was The end of Freeware dealers.

Many have asked me Why do you keep doing what you do with so many posting lies and slandering Andromeda.net,
Lith, #Dsstech and Hitec? When I started testing DTV I bought 2 F cards for 250 dollars each that lasted 2 weeks.
I have a brick on my desk I bought for 500 dollars COD. When I read back on the posts of scam groups like Blazer,
New Frontier Group ripping off thousands of cards and cash from innocent newbies , these are the reasons I do
freeware. 

I have found in all my years that Real dealers do not solicit or deal products on IRC. I find that Good dealers
advertise on Web Sites like this. These Dealers sell good products and support This fine site for freeware.
They are the places you need to spend your dollars. I would advise you to not buy from a dealer who advertises
on a pay site. They are not supporting freeware but some greedy Magi type Scrub. 

Now, lets clear up a few things on some issues. We can not guarantee that you will not lose a card testing
"freeware". The only thing we can guarantee with Freeware is that you will not have a 500 dollar Brick
setting on your desk. I have tested freeware for years and I have lost 1 BSH card in that time. I think
that was not too great a price for testing. 

Just one more note to those Coders selling their scripts and turning their backs on the Hobby.
I remember when Magi did what your doing now. You bashed him and called him a cheat, buthow are you different
then him? because freeware is not kool now? No, I think the answer was the same as it was for Magi just plain 
Greed. 

Cheers! 
Lith 
Freeware did not Die, Freeware dealers are by the truck loads.
