Tap.Tools 3 is going to be download-only. No more shipping physical CDs.

Tap.Tools has been available on CD for an extra charge for 8 years. The extra charge was to try and justify all of the extra time and energy it took to make and ship CDs—time that was diverted away from improving the software.

It was also frustrating because by the time a CD would be received in the mail, the software would have a newer update on the website—so users would just have to download the update anyway.

More recently we’ve been thinking about what happens to those CDs. They get thrown out eventually. And the cases too. The ink that’s on them. The petroleum that is used to make them. The electricity. The fuel to ship them. It seems more and more environmentally irresponsible to offer physical CDs.

So they are gone. Tap.Tools 3 is going to be download only. Please enjoy the cleaner air…
