Ok, here's my 2 cents on this program. I bought it, already knowing I wasn't going to use the recipes because of what has been mentioned. I don't own any other version of Mastercook already. I wanted this peticular program because it only has 1300 preloaded recipes vs. 5,000 for version 7.0 - I have already deleted a lot of the 1300 recipes just so they are out of my way..... I wouldn't want to have to delete 5,000!!
