    Besides 30 quid, what's the difference between that and Xampp?

    Why pay when you can get it for free?

    Fact that I use MAMP and not XAMPP :D

    Absolutely no idea tbh its been a while since I've used XAMPP

    The differences between MAMP / Pro are here http://www.mamp.info/en/mamp-pro/features/matrix.html

    I've also lived happily in MAMP standard for erm 2 years now I think but I now own MAMP Pro :)

    The pro version doesn't have any features that don't exist in similar open-source, freeware server packages like WAMP/XAMMP etc..

    Seems to be a waste of money tbh.

    Fair enough :) (wamp would be windows though)

    Got the mail this morning said I'd pass it on .. been using it for 2 years quite happily and happy to give a few quid back to the maintainers :) maybe XAMPP does the exact same not checked out XAMPP as I said in a long time

    Is there official support for the money?

    Yep via email (though tbh I've no idea how good it is)

    They give you a serial number for your install I've not installed it yet .. as the last time I did this I wiped out my existing mamp install copying the folder over the existing folder :D

    I should add I was new to the mac world at the time and hadn't realised the implication of doing this
