- 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.
