- Real Mac Users don't read manuals! That's for poor dumb DOS dweebs. :-)

- I have no complaints about MacInTax prior to the '91 version. But it was
- owned by a different company then. The '91 version was the first version
- from ChipSoft. Given the obviously high quality of the program in previous
- incarnations, ChipSoft must have worked pretty hard to hose things up in
- just a few months.
-
- As for specific problems, I had only one, whenever I changed a value in a
- certain fields, the program bombed. Thus to do what-ifs I had to reenter
- all the data multiple times, correctly. This was more than annoying. The
- only field that I remember for sure that caused this problem was filing
- status. Only one bug, yes, but it bit me over and over and over.
