Stop the Whining! - MAC_1984

You cannot compare Apple's OS with this as Apple is a major corporation selling computers requiring their OS. Apple's new OS pricing structure is a result of wanting to further capture market share. If you want the additional software—like Print Therapy—that make using Apple great then you have to support the small developers. Print Therapy has more than paid for itself in my case, and once you become a licensed user the upgrade fees are minimal. Stop your whining or start using the Mac OS with nothing more than what Apple provides you in the way of software!

Please, looking at your past posts you too have commented on prices developers charge. The fact is $30 to essentially rip out some garbage and restore is CRAZY! There are TONS of freeware tools that developers have released to deal with uncommon little issues like this.

Look at tools like Onyx, iTweaX, and TinkerTool, all FREE.

Hey, I didn't even say to make it free! Just "reasonable"!

Carry on!

Yes, I have—when it pertains to developers who provide so little and have adopted the "annual fee" based software use because they upgrade software without rectifying current software issues (e.g., Chronos is notorious for this, and even states this). This is not the case in PT's situation. Also, when you cannot get matters to works properly and have a client who is demanding printouts, PT will save you every time!

So if I have this issue I can call you and you'll run it for me on my computer under your license? Humm...is that ok with them? They charge almost $100 for a family plan and on up. I suspect you need to buy the $1,800 world license if your going back to your clients time after time to fix their printing woes.

Now to be fair, I do like that they allow you to run it for one week for free with out any functional limitations. So if I do have this issue once I can use their software to fox it. If I get it again, then I need to pay, and that's a good thing.

That also would be your "out" on the license agreement in that you ask your client to download the utility and run it. Doing so would be within the EULA where you're going there and using your copy repeatedly would not. But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.

A client asking for a printout is not a client asking for a printer fix. I don't think that MAC_1984 is fixing other folks' printing issues, but only his own.

For those with mission-critical computers, I wold think that the cost of this utility would be relatively minimal. Beauty, as usual, is in the eye of the beholder.
