Nichole, it is well worth the price.
I understand that lots of folks can't afford to spend so much on a software program...and I always tell folks that bills and
everything else comes before orchids or anything to do with them but if you can afford it, you will not be sorry. I can't imagine not having it.
Please also think about the maintenance program...it's a chunk of $$ at one time but saves SO much money along the way...each quarterly update (which you do not have to get, you can get just one per year and it will have all the pertinent info. You just won't have it at the time it became available) costs $$ and then the upgrade costs more $$. The maintenance plan really discounts what those numbers come to individually.
