Renewal notice arrived

[Margaret CPA in OH]

At least it isn't mid-march but won't these folks ever learn that anytime before April 15 is not the best time to ask for renewal?  My price for next year, with that whopping 12% discount is only about $30 more but what on earth is the option for "ATX Standard Processing Download Only" for $80.50?  How is that different from anything we've had before once the discs were discontinued?  We have to pay extra now to download the software and for standard processing?  What is the alternative, I wonder?

And whatever happened to the community board on ATX site?  I didn't often use it but was looking for something last week and didn't see it.  Does it go by another name?  Also discontinued?

My license expires the end of this year and I really don't want to quit yet but, at 76 and with these annoyances, my clients just may have to move along.

The ATX community board is still there, but they pretty much hid it.

The alternative to the standard processing fee is that you pay for the software but you never get it.
