In a world where we increasingly don't own software but we rent it, is hard to imagine that shareware even existed.

As a kid I remember playing only first level of Doom, because it was distributed as a shareware and didn't have money to buy the game.

I remember saving money and buying computer magazines and then installing all the shareware they had on floppy disks, out of curiosity. For me the discovery process was fascinating.
