I Just Paid for Something That's Free

I love Lastpass. It's become a mission critical piece of software for me. I use it several times a day, everyday. It's installed on every machine I have- I even use the bookmarklets on my iPhone. Best of all, it's free.

But not for me. Today I paid for it.

Why would I pay for something I can get for free? It's not the benefits of a premium subscription. Those are rather limited to a couple of enhanced security features I'll never use and an iPhone app that kind of sucks.

No, I decided to cough up the dough because the people at Lastpass have created a kickass product. Not only that, but they continue to crank out cutting-egde features like Google Chrome support, Windows application support, etc. Lastpass has made such a great product, and i rely so heavily on it, that I actually feel guilty NOT paying them for it. It's one of the extraordinarily few products I can honestly say that about.

That's really saying something about their software. What free product/ service would you openly pay for, given the option?
