- I've got the standard version for 1.0. I have no problems with it - it
- does everything I need to do with it. I suppose if I were really
- making a living at it, I'd get the Pro version (why do you think they
- call it Professional?). My advice is the cheap version - I think you
- can get 1.52 for like $50 on academic discount.
