ComicBase "Free"
I read on Newsarama's forums the other day that ComicBase have released a "free" version called, presumably unironically, ComicBase FREE.
This is essentially a gateway drug into the commercial world of ComicBase's software, which connects you to a large database of comics from which you can build your collection online.
The interesting thing about this new release, though, is that the program limits your collection to 500 issues. I don't consider myself a serious collector by any means, but as of right now my collection stands at 787 issues, not counting those collected in trade-paperback format.
So just in case anyone had forgotten: Comicster is completely free (although I have received two PayPal donations which were much appreciated), and has no limitations on the size of your collection. Its online database isn't anywhere near the size of ComicBase's, but it's user-generated and thus will only get bigger as more users jump on board.
If you're thinking of trying ComicBase FREE, maybe give Comicster a look as well. Comicster's download clocks in at around 1.4MB, compared to ComicBase's 102MB. And remember: if there's a feature in ComicBase that's stopping you from using Comicster, let me know in our forum and I'll add it. Simple as that.
