I called MacConnection yesterday and they offer both FullWRite Pro 1.xand Full
Impact 1.x for $65, while supplies last.  This is a better deal.  I also called
A-T and they will want $50 to upgrade Full Impact to 2.0.  They had no official
word on when or what the FullWrite Pro upgrade is/will be.

Hope this helps.  The choice is yours.
