Anyone remember when you could buy a physical copy of Netscape Navigator off a store shelf? I personally feel in this weird position where I don't want to pay for software and expect it for free but maybe not fully grasping that "free" software (particularly from for-profit companies) still comes at a cost. Trying to make myself more open to paying for good software again. Unfortunately the subscription model everyone is moving to doesn't make that easier.
