Ditto! I'm a big supporter of share/free/postcardware. If I find a piece of software useful, I'll send something to the author along with suggestions for future versions.

This has been a growing trend with ALL computer users over the last five years, not just with Atarians. A few years ago, users would ask "where can I buy a certain piece of software?" Today, the first thought is "where can I download (for free) a piece of software"?
Some hardware and software that would have cost $400 in the mid-1990's is now under $100. But these price changes have been so gradual and access to free software has increased so much that we're all spoiled.
