Here are a few Shareware's that got skeptical old me to 'pay up':

http://www.fitaly.com -- excellent input method (time limited, occasional nag screens betwen day 15 and 30)
http://www.softmaker.com -- awesome wordprocessor, lossless documented editing, and and creation. Full-featured.

There are others at well, but those two I was impressed with.

http://www.pockettablet.com -- this Shareware I found SO annoying, that even though I liked the program, the very fact that their demo is FIVE MINUTES, rahter than maybe a week, that was enough for me to not even consider buying this.

The types of sharewares company makes really influences me...

NetFront is one I probably won't get, since I don't really need it per se, but that Shareware has a few limited features, that are only extra (sometihng called a "cruise list"), but a long time to try out (45 days)

Things with no demo at all I usually don't even consider.
