- I dislike ChipSoft (MacInTax) because their advertising is deceptive. I
- got a direct mail solicitation a month or two ago, that said something
- very similar to "You can have MacInTax for $39.95." It was a lie...there
- was a $4.50 s&h fee.
-
- A couple of months earlier, they solicited me with a similar offer for
- several different software packages, for "only $8 each." (It might have
- been $10). Anyway, same lie...s&h of $4.50 for _each_ package.
-
- I decided they are slimeballs.
-
- And, of course, anyone who sticks up for ChipSoft is a paid provocateur
- whose opinions should be ignored by all who read them ;-)
