Why are many of the screenshots on Handgrabber.NET of trial products?
Basically – I rarely use handgrabbers anymore..
I created Handgrabber.NET so I don’t have to have the same conversation about how to datamine on Pacific Poker 3 times a week 
Why don’t you use handgrabbers anymore?
I live in an area with where electricity is pretty expensive, and approximately 6 months ago I did some calculations on how much it cost me to have a computer turned on 24/7 to datamine. The cost were roughly the same as a HHDealer subscription for the stakes I played.
Therefore I basically stopped datamining, and bought the hand histories instead. I then realized that I got more hand histories from HHDealer than I had collected myself, and that their system was very convenient when compared to datamining myself (daily e-mails with HH and later the option of automatic download).
Please note that your electricity situation may very well be different than mine – I just happen to live in Power-conservation-ville.
But what about the screenshots?
Since I don’t actually use handgrabbers on a daily basis anymore I didn’t have them installed on my computer the day I were taking screenshots. Registering 1 handgrabber doesn’t take much time, however, registering 15 does – So in the cases where the trial versions are exactly the same as the retail except a time or HH limit, I used them instead of spending half a day activating software.
But haven’t you tested the handgrabbers?
I have used almost all the handgrabbers on the market during the last 2 years. In addition I used to help other players with their poker software with Skype and remote support software. This forced me to keep up to date with the newest handgrabbers, pokertrackers and AHK scripts (I still do “software consulting” for mid and highstakes players for 100$+/hour).
Therefore I usually just need to check if the handgrabbers still work, and if there has been any changes since the last time I used them, I go ahead and write the review.
