My experience has been that there was a blip in the processing cycle or there was something in the e-file that created a manual "look-see". In each case of mine, Tuesday or Wednesday of that week turned out to be accurate.

The information you get when you aren't looking! Truly inspiring. A great American.

Any mathematicians in our group? Ouch!

How about the new $6,500 credit for previous owners?

Usually I "get" most everything that passes for humor around here but this one goes right over my head. Do I need to speak or understand the "brough" to get it? I am suddenly feeling very dumb.

I agree. I'll be looking for that.

I'll ask again. Can we please relegate this to the Drake section. I thought that had happened a while ago and then it disappeared. Now it is back.

Learnmore= Who are you ..really? Is anybody else getting a funny feeling here?

Please.. let's get this thread into its own topic - just like TRX. At least TRX offered ATX software not Drake.

All of this discussion has fired me up to become less "paper bound". I just bought a Fujitsu FI-5015C on E-bay with warraty for cheap. I am ready to try it out and get back into these threads to get started. Just another reason I appreciate this forum.

Agreed.

The 30-40% discount that I referred to was purchasing through TRX early. It just ticked me off that CCH has agreed to provide all the admin and support for a discounted product. I feel as others do - that CCH should have recognized the disparity in treatment to their current (me) and former (purchased through TRX) and provided some relief. I also know that will never happen.

So let me see if I have the gist of your monolog.. You got the ATX product of your choice (and usage) with support by CCH as it turns out - all of the advantages - for about 40% less than most of the rest of us pay? I guess I saw the benefit at the time (40% off MSRP) for the risk of dealing with TRX. But now that risk is removed and those of you who ventured into the TRX web have come out smelling like a rose. I feel worse for not jumping. And, oh, by the way, most of what has harmed TRX in this process is their own doing. They did not handle this opportunity well and have essentially been slapped around.

I was referring to their community. And you are correct, it wasn't impressive before it got slammed with spam and worse.

You know, I was upset at the cutoff of orders that happened back in April (or so) limiting the number of ATX licenses to 300 (or so). I am amazed at what has happened at TRX during the past few months as it appears that they are trying to undo their connection with this (ATX) software and sell something else. The TRX website for customers is out of business ( and has been for months). Has anyone actually heard from them regarding the 2009 season?

I signed the deal (fee waived - just ask) with CCH. If I get a fee in December, I'll rescind the deal.

I wonder if they will accept debit cards. They should not charge for that and they would have a timely payment to boot. I will find out today as I will be calling them for renewal.

Thanks for your good wishes. Its a beautiful day and I plan on enjoying every minute! So far, so good.

I suggested that the deal was better with CCH providing support since this would have required TRX to either hire ATX ready support staff (which seems unlikely) or train their own which would be a daunting task inside the time frame involved. Bob

So those of you who acted quickly and purchased ATX from TRX got both the great pricing and CCH support? That is just too good a deal!!

It is another resale situation. Once they were limited to selling 500 copies of ATX, it appears that they are going to offer another product for resale.

\ Didn't this same offer come last year about this time?

Please stop rubbing this situation in the rest of our faces.

And leaves those of us who stayed on the fence until this got resolved extremely upset. I thought that CCH had committed 5000 licenses, not 500.

Edward- That's old news. The dispute has taken a more ominous, darker, silent to the public side. Everyone is wondering just what is going on. Stay tuned.
