There's gotta be more one-time-purchase software for sale now than there was in the 1990s.

I agree it was mostly better software, at least in terms of respecting users.

I bought my first Linux distro (Mandrake). It was worth it to avoid the huge download on 56k, and the hassle of writing a CD. Plus Mandrake played pretty well written my system thanks to the '3dfx' drivers.
