I know there are a lot of XPress haters and for good reason. But we really need to get it on OSX for a number of reasons. I utilize a number of Xtensions for variable data publishing. One, DesignMerge is a $2,500 extension. We use it and Xdata, Xtags in our company. I would love to move us to OS X, but unfortunately these software titles are slowed by XPress not moving to it. I am running OS X at home, and I love it. It is an awesome system. I do, however, think Apple has punished early users. I have submitted a number of bug reports, have brought the system into my place of employment in part, and have led others to it. Now Apple wants me to pony up another $129 for the upgrade. Is this like a full version number jump? Even that usually would cost in the $89 range in the past. Brad Rice
