Without reading the manual/www instructions I spent less then a couple of hours to install PANTHER on a 8500 and 9600.

Being a typical mac guy I just launched the application and off we went installing PANTHER.

And yes it's still a "try before you buys".

So why pay after?

For me there were some "issues" that required clarification and help. Remember I can't be bothered to read instructions. For me it's easier to ask.

Once you've paid the fee required you get excellent "forum" support.

The guru's at the forum have the patience and treat each question with respect and promptly provide the answers.
