Well the art of Barter is still alive. I have been looking at this piece of software that I found online (Which shall remain nameless to protect the developer involved) and sent an email to the company telling them how much I liked the trial version and that I wish I could afford to buy the licence. Reply came back, do you trade, because I love your work. After a few emails back and forth the amulet bag above was accepted. GOOD TRADE as we say!!!
