Lumernius once said that the humans must not be categorized by their lack of fear but by the transparency of their courage; not by the kindness of their words but by the boldness of their good deeds; not by the blinding flame of their promises but by the steadiness of their hands when helping. You shall not reward highly the quick-feet who crave for oxygen at the finish line, but the slow-stepper who marks a deep footprint beyond the finish line.

I honestly believe I have responded in a factual manner in tune with the wise advice above. Just look at this very website, the one and only www.saliu.com. You find plenty of helpful free stuff around here. Knowledge, theories, ideas, formulas, plus one-of-a-kind software, freeware...

I'll make it as short as comprehensibly possible. I do it not because I fear responsibility towards others. I do it with transparent courage: I do not leave things of mine in the dark.

• I decided to enforce a form of paid membership for the glorious visitors who also want to download my free software. That's right, pay for downloading the free software. Obviously, the new policy implies that my software will remain FREE TO USE FOR AN UNLIMITED TIME, WITH NO DISABLED FEATURES, AND WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

My software is divided into seven categories accessible from entry points: web pages acting as directories. Some of you remember the appeal at the beginning of every directory:

Would it be too much on you part to write your honest opinion on my freeware at the web sites that offer my free software, or in forums? Your effort would amount to a nice payoff for the effort I put in my free software, so useful to many humans around the world. Instead of emailing me Thank you, Ion notes, express your thoughts in public places. Don't make a secret out of my software and theories. Let other people know about my labor in service to Truth. I am not asking you to be biased. Just let your character shine through. Guaranteed, beneficial psychologically, too! Strikes perfect balance: I do, you do. How do you do?

I had received email messages from a few well-intended people. They had asked me how they would respond to my generosity. I thought the appeal above was a terrific form of mutual kindness. A higher traffic to my website does benefit me financially and also psychologically. I want as many humans as possible to know about me and my ideas and my creations. That form of mutual cooperation would have not required financial efforts; only time was needed. I know, I know… Time is money. Honestly, not in that case. It would have not required a lot of time — just a few minutes now and then.

My appeal was badly ignored! Need say no more…

Now, consider the other options out there that really hurt my reasonable ego.

Think that an epitome of stupidity in lottery matters, such as lottery post, charges over US $70 a year in membership fees! For what? For something that amounts to no more than 1% of my freeware? Not to mention that a lot of their stuff is copycatting of my free software and/or systems!

Think of Steve Player's pick-3 system that's a pitiful piracy of one feature in my free pick-3 software. He sells that “system” for US $80!

Think of Gail Howard's lotto software and systems. Her “system” is no more than 1% of all those lottery systems in my SkipSystem.EXE. I am not saying she has copied my systems. She probably hasn't, because I am the only one who really knows how the skip systems are constructed. In any event, Gaitsa (Gail H) sells her packages for hundreds of US dollars.

At the same time, I came to realize that I had been in a state of slavery to other gambling and lottery vendors. There had been a lot of people with the mentality that my software and systems were worth thousands of dollars. But since they had not paid me anything, they felt they had saved lots of money. Then, what? They “spent their savings” on all the garbage in the world! In fact, they respected me far less then their respect for the real vendors. Real vendor means a businessperson who sells something for real money. I didn't deserve much respect for I hadn't known what business means!

• Don't worry! The membership fees I think of are just peanuts, compared to the above and many, many other “offerings”. The membership fee will still be Saliu-style: very reasonable AND affordable. Right now, you can subscribe for 12 months for a US $14.95 fee. The fee is NOT recurring. You decide your membership on a yearly basis. That's all the money you need to download over 100 software titles. As per above, the software is entirely free to use.

It works like this. You want to download one of those great software titles. You click on the download link. The login page will meet your eyes, mind, and heart. By the dog in Egypt I swear, one can hear the curses even when coming from the opposite side of the globe!

A member in good standing enters his/her login information: Username and password. The downloading process starts immediately.

If the user is not registered, the login form has a Register field. The registration form shows the type of membership and fee, first name and last name, user name, password, email, and form of payment.

• You can sign up directly here: Signup page.

The only type of payment accepted at this time is via PayPal. Other forms of payment such as by check or money order delay membership approval by several weeks (mailing time, bank clearing, etc.). The easiest and fastest way to register is if you have a PayPal account. If you don't have a PayPal account and don't want one, you can pay using a credit card. They accept many credit cards and the online processing is very secure.

The PayPal service validates your payment, if it is valid. Payments via eCash or other financial methods may require 3-4 business days to process (including bank clearing).
Nota bene – Please be patient. Do not apply for the membership more than once. If you pay for extra memberships, you will get yearly extensions, not refunds. If you pay twice, you receive membership for two years, not one. The membership fee is too low for refunds to be acceptable. The refund charge is almost as high as the membership fee!

PayPal informs you and my membership facility immediately and automatically. A valid payment approves your membership immediately. You will be redirected to the Thank You page, then to the Membership page. Once there, you should click on Yearly Membership. It directs you to the protected area at saliu.com.

• Once registered, you can go directly to your membership page any time. You might want to bookmark these important links in a special folder (e.g. SaliuMembership).

You, the registered member, can go directly to the software download gateway; you need to read the information on the main download page (saliu.com/infodown.html). From there, you can download directly the integrated packages. You can also go to the 7 software categories, where you can download one program at a time.

To download a program: Click on its EXE name; the downloading process starts immediately. Do NOT right-click on a program name. It downloads a phony file!

You may start downloading as many software titles as you want during your active membership. That means you may download ALL the software offered for free at my website. If new titles or updates become available during your active membership period, you may download them all as soon as you see them.

You downloaded, say, one software title. The login form has a button named 'Back'. Click on it to return to the page that lists the free software available to you. Click on another download link…and so on.

• The membership system at my web site does have fraud-proof features. Memberships may be terminated and the law enforcement informed in cases of fraud. One type of fraud detection is based on the IP address of the member. I don't think honest members could be hurt by the fraud-proof system. Blacklisting also is a tough but effective measure.
  • Furthermore, sharing Ion Saliu's software with anybody, but especially with unregistered members, constitutes a violation of the law. Nobody but nobody may distribute my software in any way, shape or form. The software you download is for your personal use only — period.

Other fraudulent practices, such as chargebacks, or refund requests, will be fought with torching fire. PayPal is also an ally in fighting fraudulent practices by the buyers (and sellers, too!)

The criminally inclined minds should be careful. You will not get away with this type of cheating (fraud, actually): You make a valid payment, then download my entire web site, software included — and then want your money back. That's a C-R-I-M-E!

Advice to honest people: You get nowhere if you just open the signup page with no intent to subscribe. Hopefully, you don't think you can beat the system — and download without a valid membership. Nobody can do it — besides, it is a criminal act. You can get blacklisted — very hard to reverse at a later time, when you really want to subscribe.

Best of luck! Enjoy your journey!
