I think i'm just a little oversensitive from all the comment spam:) I wasn't trying to judge you for making profit off of your creation (after all, I run a for-profit company of my own), I just didn't see a free trial version or anything listed on your site. I would love to give QuickPlanner Plus a try. I'll drop you an email. Point taken, matson. I think i’m just a little oversensitive from all the comment spam:)

Shareware simply does not have licensing restrictions (hence "share") and is generally associated with a free trial. If Deep Roots is interested in a free license to QuickPlanner Plus, I can arrange that, just send me an email at matsonian@yahoo.com. I don't want to offend anyone by being considered commercial, I am working on a way for non-profits, of which I have founded three in the Sacramento area, can get access to my software for free without it being abused by others. Keep up the good work here! Chris — actually, freeware is free. Shareware simply does not have licensing restrictions (hence “share”) and is generally associated with a free trial.

Shareware is free, but QuickPlanner Plus is $35. We are a grassroots non-profit and ask that if folks are going to use our site to push their for-profit endeavors, then they should give some sort of <a href="http://www.deeprootssanctuary.org/giveback/donateonline.html" rel="nofollow">donation</a> to Deep Roots.

Too often, in the various non-profits I have worked for, we are trying to get through the next day, pay the rent next week, and not thinking about next year. We started using a planning method that easily helped us focus and build strong strategies for all our endeavors, the buy in was great and the projects succeeded. Recently I put that method out in the form of shareware called QuickPlanner Plus. It is a simply way of helping those who have the passion to change the world, but lack the patience to truly plan. Matson Chris,
