On the other hand, if you're seriously interested in a program but not
sure if it's right for you, why not order from MacConnection or
MacWarehouse?  They both offer 30 day money-back guarantees on most
software; at least with legitimately purchased software you have
access to manuals, tutorials and the like.  And it's hard to beat
their prices -- unless, of course, you pirate the software.
