If you don't have this software yet it is also on sale on their website till the 27th June...

$34.99 for the PPC edition
or
$49.99 for the PPC & desktop edition

And once again those of us in Europe get a bad deal...

€39.99 for the PPC edition
€59.99 for the bundle

which given the exchange rate at the moment makes it about 15% if you live in the US and download it then if you live in the EU and download!!??!! So much for a global economy!

These people probably still think that the Euro is behind the dollar, and they're giving you a deal... :roll:

hmmm... they need to wake up to the reality of the global market.


Now i must go and beat myself for not investing in Euros when they started :?

These people are actually based in Germany (just to remind you, Germany is in EMU). So they know perfectly well what the exchange rate is... Which makes the price discrepancy even more incomprehensible. Well, I ain't payin' that premium.

Shame on you, SoftMaker. :evil:

They are in Germany. They are in the EU. And they do have to collect 21% VAT for the EU. Correct? So the numbers aren't that far off. ~5%.

is it possible to "scribble" notes or a quick sketch in a textmaker document like in Notes?
