It's TREMENDOUSLY powerful. It also has quite a learning curve. I
found the tech ref to be organized poorly - finding what you're after
is initially quite a task. Once you've figured out the organization
scheme, things become slightly more easy to locate.
 
TMON Pro also has a rather large memory footprint.
 
Feature-wise it's quite amazing. The conditional breakpoint and traps
stuff is really neat and should make hunting weird bugs much easier.
 
I doubt that I'll ever use all the capabilities in the product, but
it's good knowing that they're there, just in case. There are still,
of course, things that I would love it to do that it doesn't...
 
>Worth the $100 upgrade from TMON?
 
That's your call. TMON 2.8.x will not be revised any more (or so they
say), so you're out of luck when new CPUs happen. If you find old TMON
and Macsbug 6.2 anemic in their abilities, you will probably like TMON
Pro. I know I'm not switching back.
