Ok, lemme see if I can sum this all up for you.

First, and I believe we accidentally skipped over this. Welcome to the forums!

Now, I'll pull a few quotes to help nail down my comment below.

If you can't get all that you want done (your list) by the end of the free trial, then boxing might not be for you since ISBoxer is that easy to set up and work with. The Wizard alone saves so much time. You literally should be able to get 90% of what you want done in 20 minutes assuming you have your accounts set-up and characters created.

Nearly all, if not all, programs mentioned here read as capable of helping me do that. The "best" for me would be the easiest, and quickest, to get setup and do the 2 person questing with. Pretty certain I do not need Jamba for my simple desires. Window switching to accept quests is fine with me.

Im also 30+ in my years. Married, strong career, many kids. My time is very valuable. I started boxing quite a while ago, but no where near as long as the majority of the brain trust in this community. I also tried a couple different softwares until I settled on ISBoxer.


tl:dr - Get in the free trial of ISBoxer plus Jamba. You can accomplish nearly if not all of your leveling before the trial. The software will be the easiest and quickest to get set up, and get you going. If after the free trail you decide you dont need or arent interested in all it offers, no problem, you can ditch it completely, and pick up one of the free ones that are less sophisticated with a harder set up. If however you decide you want to just stick with it. As you mentioned, paying for it really isnt an issue... its $10.00 for 90 days. ... Ive wasted more than $10.00 just writing this post for you.

Much later on, I may want to do a "...hey I think I could use this software to heal my tank while I....." etc etc.
...oh and its worth mentioning, ISBoxer also has a window wizard too. You can use 1, or 2, or ~+ monitors. 1, or 2, or 99+ client windows within those monitors or monitor. (all be it 99 on one monitor may be a bit hard to see..lol) Anyway, you 100% definitely wont need to ALT+TAB for anything, with ISBoxer and Jamba.
