I have it all. great package. wouldnt use anything else.
Leigh, What are the differences between the base package and the full blown deal?
I started off cheap, with the Home Edition v 5.0, which is a very dumbed down version. That wasn't good enough, very limited actually, so I went to the base version of 9.0. That worked pretty well for a while, but there were many bthings that it couldn't do ... either couldn't do at all, or took a tremendous amount of work. Finally went to base version of 9.5, and then shortly thereafter bought an upgrade to that. I don't think I have the top of the line version yet, and I think I'm ok at this level for a while.
I'm sorry, I thought you wanted it done the right way.
I'm glad I finally got some feedback. I ended up purchseing the base version and I'm not up to speed with it yet but its impressive so far.
you have 90 days to be happy, so upgrading to full is easy. You should have version 10.
