I paid for WinZip and for Paint Shop Pro and used them a bunch in the late 90s. But I switched to Linux in the early aughts and by then the free software versions had caught up sufficiently that I didn't really need to pay for software for a while.

I do pay for Sublime Text these days.

Proud to say that by 40 I will be off Windows forever.

Jokes on them, unrar on linux is free.

okay
