A commenter (thanks, Rick!) gave me the heads up last week that LSB might show up for free again and guess what - today it has.
I got my copy a few months ago for the bargain price of $15 but today (7/18/08) ONLY you can go to:
and download LSB XE for free. The newest version, even! (I'm running 2.71 but once you have it registered all updates are free, so I'll be upgrading to 2.91 tonight no matter what.)
It was well worth my $15 so BY ALL MEANS go get it free today if you don't already have it. I've been using it for rewrites and I've only scratched the surface of all the features but some of my favorites are: character dossiers, line notes, shortcuts, file associations, picture galleries. The storyboard and timeline features are cool but I haven't had the time to fully set mine up. Other stuff I've heard it does but haven't experienced yet: jump words (i.e. if I click on "Alec" I can set it to pull up his character dossier, if I click on "Glencoe" it will pull up the picture gallery or the list of files with all my research on the massacre, etc.), playlists, all sorts of stuff.

The interface isn't your standard Microsoft (duh - and some would say that's a good thing) and it took some getting used to. I had to change the display colors, and all that. But the more I use it the more instinctively I know where to find the tools I want, the more features I discover and get set up, and the more addicted to it I get.
Go. It's free. You can't go wrong with free!
