In my personal opinion, there is no perfect camcorder for any type of thing you are going to film. Since you are going to be skating, you need a camcorder that has a good Frames Per second speed as well as good color. I quickly looked at the GL1 and it looks pretty good but there is a new GL2 which seems to be better. Since you are going over 1000 any camcorder will be good and Canon is usually good.
I have no idea what you are going to be using it for, but It is always good to go with HD since you are going to be spending that much. Before you read this paragraph note that HD takes a lot of space. I mean gigs for a few minutes of video, but its the best quality. If you are just doing home videos (Unless you have an HDTV) then you don’t really need to bother with HD. If you are into this, I would recommend the Canon SF10 (amazing color and it also does standard definition as well)
However, Wallace acknowledged that he got the term from an InfoWorld magazine column by that name in the 1970’s, and that he considered the name to be generic,so its use became established over freeware and user-supported software.
Fluegelman, Knopf, and Wallace clearly established shareware as a viable software marketing method. Via the shareware model, Button, Fluegelman and Wallace became millionaires.
why shareware? you have to pay for it after a trial period…
try gimp it is linux that runs under windows and it is free to download and use,,, all linux software comes free…
Gimp is a good image editing program (That’s free of course) it’s close to the abilities of Photoshop, and works great.
Here’s the link to it In 1984, Softalk-PC magazine had a column, The Public Library, about such software. Public domain is a misnomer for shareware, and Freeware was trademarked by Fluegelman and could not be used legally by others, and User-Supported Software was too cumbersome. So columnist Nelson Ford had a contest to come up with a better name.
Blogs and online forums further enabled individuals to spread news about titles they like. With this pruning in place, consumers can more easily find quality shareware products while still preserving the ability to find obscure and niche software.
The most popular name submitted was Shareware, which was being used by Wallace.
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, shareware software was widely distributed over bulletin board systems globally and on diskettes (and subsequently, CD-ROMs) by commercial shareware distributors who produced catalogs of up to thousands of public domain and shareware programs. One such distributor, Public Software Library (PSL), began an order-taking service for programmers who otherwise had no means of accepting credit card orders.
As Internet usage grew, users turned to downloading shareware programs without paying long-distance charges or disk fees, spelling the end of bulletin board systems and shareware disk distributors. In addition to shareware libraries online, the authors of programs had their own sites where the public could learn about their programs and download the latest versions, and even pay for the software online.
