Sorry, if I gave out the wrong impression. I was trying to be
sarcastic. I just wanted to point out that if one intended to keep up
with the latest changes you would be putting out around $200 (although
the upgrade this last year from 6.x to 7 was only $150) for the new
(major) version. Which comes out about once a year.
Also a previous poster mentioned that they were able to upgrade using a
version that was much older then the current one being replaced. That
is good to know. I had always been worried about being forced to buy a
new copy if I skipped the current upgrade. However as it has turned
out, I have needed each upgrade any ways.
