Agreed, I buy quite a bit of shareware through compuserve's SWREG
service (the author pays a cut to compuserve, and compuserve adds
it to my bill). With the several digital cash schemes coming into
existance, this could be a happy way for authors to get paid.
I've just rediscovered IF, and haven't even played any again (yet),
but I would be delighted to pay an author $5-$15 for a few hours of
entertainment, I spend as much on a movie, and I have to sit in an
uncomfortable theater chair for those few hours instead of my comfy
chair at home :)
