I just wanted to follow up on my recent posting requesting information
and comments on the MacInTax tax preparation package, primarily to
thank the *many* folks who responded - I've tried to send individual
responses back, but I'm sure I've missed a few.  

Every one of the more than 20 responses I received expressed glowing
praise of the package, with only a few mentions of quirks or
drawbacks.  The main drawback seems to be that, though the initial
investment is only ~$60, you have to spend that much again every year
to receive the updates for the next tax year.  As for the software
itself, quite a few people made comments of the flavor "This is the
best software I've ever used [on a Mac/ever]" or "This actually makes
doing taxes almost FUN!"

If anyone is interested in seeing a summary of the messages I
received, please send email and I'll be happy to pass it on.

Again, thanks to all who responded.
