WTF? I just got an email offering me 1-year access to WinCustomize for $4.99.
I already have access to this site and have had for years.
So what's up? Is this becoming a pay site or what?

As long as you have bought a Stardock product you will have access. This is more for people who do not.
Ah, well, I've bought lots of different things over the years and there was a point where I was cut off from downloading anything unless I bought something else. Only happened the one time, but.......

Hehe, that reminds me. Somebody was selling badges for a football club from a stand erected in our local shopping centre the other day, and I just couldn't help myself when he pestered the crap outta me to buy some:
"Badges? I don't need no steeenkin' badges." in my best Mexican accent.
I walked away and he was left scratching his head in bewilderment.... s'pose I could have told him it was a line from the movie, Treasure of the Sierra Madras, but I still reckon he'd have been none the wiser, being a teen something and exhibiting a largely vacant look on his dial.

WinCustomize has nearly always had a subscription option available.
If you purchase a Stardock product, you get 1 year of unlimited downloads but that does not give you all the benefits of a subscription like removal of ads.

Well, yeah. But not at $4.99.
I am ahead, but would purchase another year at $4.99....hehe.
WC Sub at less than the cost of a WB skin, nice deal!

Starkers, you're too funny!
I love that line, and I think Mel Brooks used it in Blazing Saddles, too.

Yeah, I think you may be right. It has been a while since I saw Blazing Saddles, but I have an idea it was used when the sheriff, Cleavon Little was trying to recruit some deputies. There were some great actors in that movie... a couple of my favourites being Gene Wilder and Slim Pickens.

No, it was Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman) recruiting bandits 
Candygram for Mr Starkers!

Oh well, at least we got the right movie. It must have been all of 30 - 35 years since I last saw it, however, so at +61 I'm excusing myself for the memory lapse.
