Donald: It's really up to you, whether to wait or not. Generally, we continue selling the CD's we have in stock, even if there's an update on the web.Any time you purchase a program, you will have the option to update from the web and the updates are free. So, whether you buy the program now or a few months from now, you will be able to update and get the latest version. The only difference is if you purchase the program now, you will not get this version, because it hasn't been released. Of course, you can download the Beta version, if you'd like.

In fact I have several clients that use this program and they seem to like it a lot. Seeing that there is a lot of talk about beta right now should I wait to buy the next release? I always pay the extra to get a CD of the program so that if I have a total melt down I have a base from where to start from. Thanks, Donald
