Shareware software worth paying for

[Furor]

I couldn't find a thread like this so I thought I would see if anyone was interested in starting one...

I always try to remember software that I come across that is worth buying, since it's usually quite rare.

Here are a few examples:

xplorer2 - Windows Explorer replacement - $25
Acronis True Image - Extremely versatile Ghost/Imaging software - $80-1000
SyncBack - Data backup/Syncronization software - $25
UltraEdit - Awesome notepad replacement, very fast and light with tons of features - $40

i used to use tuneup utilities because it was awesome. I just uninstalled it because it didn't do anything i couldn't get out of freeware anymore.

Most notable applications needed to replace Tuneup was CCleaner and a patched uxtheme.dll.

Otherwise, i never used the icon changer, boot screen, login screen changer.

Utlraedit is a hex editor primarily

I like Clip Cache Plus ... a good cip capture utility http://www.xrayz.co.uk/clipcache/?page=default
and also Metapad to replace the stock windows notepad http://liquidninja.com/metapad/

Oh, and as to Acronis TruImage .. I think the OP meant $80 to $100 ... not $1000

I'm considering paying for Anapod Explorer, as its a nice alternative to iTunes.

Maybe DVD Rebuilder, too.
