I must say it seems to be worth every penny of the $199 introductory price. However, it occurs to me that some generic tools have some of the capabilities of this specialized tool and are available for no-cost at all. Although the free versions are quite good in most cases, some offer upgrades for enhanced functionality at a modest upgrade fee. Last Updated (Friday, 17 April 2009 22:17) |
