Put me down as disappointed. This upgrade policy is nothing short of insulting to former users. Worse than the BBEdit insult to long time users. Even Toast looks acceptable by comparison, if only because they are part of a wider MU bundle.

I have v3 and to think that my investment means nothing on the upgrade price I have to think twice before I consider any kind of loyalty to the provider, seeing as none is due to the users.

My first impression is that once this moves out of Beta, it will definitely be a contender to the lower end of the market. In fact, it is already. I use Mixxx and FutureDecks, depending on how I feel. So far, I do like this. Until I have done a live event, I won't review it though.

I am surprised they never bumped a ver with this release - 1.9 is so much more than 1.8 was. And then, I wonder if this will go the route of djay - Born Free, died $50. Even if it does, in its current form, it certainly is a good piece of software, for the casual DJ especially. In fact, I think I may just prefer it to djay...

Some days, BB is the only reason I own a Mac. I moved to Mac in 96 and my then-boss threw BBedit at me, explaining it doesn't su ck and I must use it. I did. After a day, I went home and destroyed my PC with an axe, burnt it and buried it with salt, to prevent it from rising up from the dead. That was v4 I think. Since then, I have upgraded intermittently. V6 for OS X. Then vb for Intel. For the first time since then, I find myself upgrading again - if for no other reason than the speedier responses and floating Find-Replace.
You'll get my BBEdit when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!

I hate iCal. Calendars of any sort annoy me. I like chaos.

My clients, on the other hand, insist on sending me those annoying meeting request things that end up filed away in iCal and I end up missing them because I cannot bring myself to launch iCal all the time just to check something silly, like an important meeting or a pay day. I only one could have the iCal events blend into the desktop towards the unused edges and leave me alone. Oh, wait, you can. After arriving late for my nth meeting last week, I realised I needed this kind of function more than I would care to admit. I downloaded each of the available solutions and tried them all out. Most lasted no more than 30 minutes on my machine. This lasted and I was not about to wait for the 14 day trial to expire - bought instantly. It does what it is supposed to do, nothing more, nothing less. I have no idea how I lived without it. Oh wait, I do - I missed meetings and birthdays and my anniversary. Sorry dear...

It would be really nice though if the registration screen would allow copy-paste. I have tried to type the code in 5 times and each time it says error and then clears what I have typed so I cannot even try to spot the error. Please FIX - this is a serious flaw.
