Just on the outside looking in at this point... i know its going to make me totally rethink my costs/expenses. I will keep you posted... but I havent even scratched the surface and I can see a lot that will be changing for me! icon_wink.gif

My only big issue is no Mac support... i use a Mac my hubby uses the pc....I have to wait my turn so i can go play!

No there is not support for Macs.... they say you can run some other software to make cakeboss think you have a windows machine... but I have not tried that yet.... Hubby is the computer guru... so I'll have to get him to give that a shot

Yeah I feel your pain... I LOVE my mac....

aggghhh! i'm still holding out for a mac version. But i'm not sure how much longer I can last!

since I suspect that the CakeBoss rep will stop by this thread (hoping icon_biggrin.gif ) is there any update to the rumors that there will be an internet-based version to take care of the mac peeps? (even better, that it won't have any flash so it can run on an iphone or ipad)

Yes, yes yes..count my vote in for a mac compatible version.. I got an iPad just for my cake stuff... I have a pc but it's downstairs and way to big to put in my purse!!!!

I've been thinking about getting this but not sure because if I still need something on the accounting side and don't want to have to do double entry. The spreadsheets I've seen/created just aren't cutting it! If I plan on making this a business I need to treat it as such. I hope Cakeboss will be at Cake Camp so I can see it in action as I'm still on the fence if it will give me everything I want/need.

I hear ya, I put it off for a long while... and me and spreadsheets... just have not been friends. I will keep you posted on how things go with it... and if you ever have questions about I'm more than happy to try and help!
