<a href="../F/freeware.html"><i class="glossterm">freeware</i></a>, in that the author requests only that
satisfied users send a postcard of their home town or something. (This
practice, silly as it might seem, serves to remind users that they are
otherwise getting something for nothing, and may also be psychologically
related to real estate &#8216;sales&#8217; in which $1 changes hands just
to keep the transaction from being a gift.)</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="post.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../P.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="Postels-Prescription.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">post </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Postel's Prescription</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
