- IMHO, people who gripe about having to pay for an "upgrade" are
- being unreasonable. 5.0 is a new product with many features that

- $200 as soon as 5.0 was offered, and feel that I am getting my
- money's worth. In fact, to come to think of it, it's no less than
- a bargain.

- Do you get new model cars for free? Do they even give you a
- break if you're "upgrading?". Dream on.
