This is off topic, unless you've a printing problem like I had beginning with snow leopard. My problem with an epson printer came down to apple's installed glutenprint [sp?] driver for the printer as far as I can tell. After installing epson's own driver, the OS still wouldn't recognize it until I used print utility to deactivate the printer and then reactivate it at which time epson's own driver was recognized and printing was back to normal.

The "Requirements" section should be changed to reflect that this version REQUIRES Mac OS X 10.6.x "Snow Leopard".

Um, I got my license within 30 minutes of paying for the upgrade. I am in the same timezone, and also I did put my old vers.6 license in the PayPal notes...
Have a little sympathy for these folks, they may not be in your time zone and we all have to sleep sometime.
The only other issue I have is that PT7 will not run on my 32-bit only Mac Mini Core Duo... but I think the dev can fix that by re-targetting the build for 32 and 64-bit Intel.
The new version DOES work great on my MBP.. It looks to be a great update! Just the 32-bit issue... doh.
