Software....

I spent a bit going through my CDs today, trying to determine what I never use.

Like my Campaign Cartographer2, CC2Pro, and City Designer2.

I paid a lot for these (before I started writing for publication, actually) but I never use them, which makes me sad. I acutally did learn to use the first one, and used it to do a nice map or two.....but CC2Pro turned out to be more complex, and I never found the time to learn it.

And I don't know if anyone would buy them, either....so there they sit, in all their expensive glory, ignored in my closet.

Buyer's remorse.

I think that if we had back all the money that we've spent on what was a wonderful idea at the time--well, we'd have lots! :) And then turn around and spend it on other things.

It's very strange how something seems so perfect and just the thing at the time. Maybe, at the root, we're thinking, "I need more guilt in my life. I should buy that thing so I can feel guilty about not using it..."

Still, every once in a while, you really do find just the thing, and you never know ahead of time, not for sure, anyway. Funny, in a way.

So true. I think this stuff ran me a total of 160-170. Sad now that I think about how I could have used the $ otherwise...

But we live and we learn.
