The problem I have with MacinTax is that it is too damned expensive.  I
bought it last year for the first time and it cost something like $80.  Ok,
fine, I'm sure a lot of work went into it.  But then a few weeks ago I get
the notice for the 1990 "upgrade".  They want $50 for it!  That is simply
obscene!  There just can't be that many differences between the 1989 forms
and the 1990 forms to warrant them charging me that much for a wrongly-named
"upgrage".  Given that the price for TurboTax off the shelf is the same as
the "upgrade" for MacinTax, I see no reason not to switch this year.  (Are
you listening, Russ?)
