   Name a single app that "I" need (yes, you'll have to guess using the   
   apps that *you* need as an example), that I can't get the same   
   functionality of, for free?   
      
   I'm curious why I can live perfectly well with free apps, but you   
   can't.   
      
   Am I just "smarter" than you?   
   Or more "persistant"?   
   Or, am I actually missing out on functionality?   
      
   What app can anyone name here that costs money that you need the   
   functionality of, that I can't get that same (or similar) functionality   
   of, for free?   
      
   Name some.
