Might as well put this msge on its own before anyone sweats over upgrading costs. If you have version 2.x this new version is free. If you're still at version 1.x then yes, you'll have to shell out 20$ which, frankly, is a pittance for the usefulness of this app. From the ReadMe: Snapz Pro X 2 costs $69. Upgrades from Snapz Pro X 1.0 w/ movie capture are $20. This is a free update to registered users of Snapz Pro X 2.x. And for those that accuse Ambrosia of being evildoers, please remember that these folks remained with the Mac market through the lowest of times.
