I had just recently downloaded the new OSX or whatever it is called after hvign to get a new FIOS internet as my DSL was not fast enough to download that huge operating system. As a result I was able to you a disk, which I prefer, perhaps because I feel there is something more real avbout hvign the disc and also not havign a fast system earlier so I don't think of making long downloads. As I said, I am pushig 80 and am a bit less eager to always try new things:-) The download of the new system was free from Apple, but, unfortunately, the new FIOS system is not:-(
I will, probably use the , more expensive Premiere next year although I have no partnerships, or unusual income other than paneions, IRA and income form stocks and some bonds< altough few of those in these low interest times. It all just went so smoothly for me this year and I hope to be able to do it myself, again, next year. It is only the ability to download from the brokerage houses that enables me to still do this, as the man numbers with my eye problems increases the probability of errors too much for me to risk it. For me, at my time of life, simplification is a much desired thing.
I must say , I had absolutely no issue with them about the refund and I asked only asked a few days after the April 15th date.
