One of the more absurd, illogical posits I've read this year.
Just suppose you are unlucky emough to have 120GB of duplicate files and you spend $40 to delete them. Ok. Now you no longer have your duplicae files but you still have the app.
Suppose you are _really_ unlucky and you have 120GB of duplicate files on every one of your 200 disks. Now would you argue that you got $800 value from the utility so therefore it is great value? Of course you wouldn't.
Maybe you're a service technician and 1,000 of your customers ask you to find and delete dupes on their computers. Does that make the app worth $40,000?
Owning a CD with a software tool on it is indeed as close as you can come to having your cake and eating it too.
Note I make no comment on the usefulness, value or stability of the app. I only comment on the illogical act of equating the cost of the app with the cost of hard disk space.
