Hold everything!  Give ChipSoft a chance. Phooey!  They had an excellent 
chance already.  MacInTax was an excellent program thru '90.  It was easy
to use, it worked and they provided good support.  Then ChipSoft bought it
and trashed it completely.  The '91 release (ChipSoft's first) was garbage.
From what I've heard so far, the '92 release is not a lot better.

I'm sure all of us have been inundated with stuff about improving quality
in the US.  Well, one of the best things each of us can do to improve quality
is not to buy crap.  That sends the strongest possible message to the vendor
that they had better get their act together.  If we hadn't been willing to
put up with junky cars for so long, the US auto makers would have build better
cars and the Japanese wouldn't have been as successful. 

ChipSoft had a chance and blew it.  Now I'm going to give TaxCut a chance.
