For those out there concerned about buying the current version and then the new version coming out soon after, relax. Just buy the current version, get used to it and then buy the new version when it comes out. It is well worth even if the new version came out 3 days later. This software is priced WELL below it true value. I actually can not believe these developers price these programs at the pricepoint they do. Hell, I spent $125.00 to fix an old PC laptop JUST so I could keep using this program after I bought Macs for the house. I will buy the Mac version the day it is released (or I find out it is available) at full price without complaint (although a discount would be appreciated) and take it and run. This product IS that important to your brewing. I have said before, I have bought every commercial brewing software product available out there and have been disappointed in one way or another with each. Not so here. As I said, this is one of my most valued and important pieces of brewing equipment.
