I call bs on this one. Fixes are always free patches to the current version. There are patches issued for previous version all the time, just go back and look at the previous versions and the patches.

As far as a shitload of money, that too is BS. Compared to what? The national debt of Canada?

As has been pointed out countless times, if you don't want to buy the upgrade, don't.

I have no idea of the installed base. It has to be WAY larger than we think, or they could not stay in business. Do the math.

I'd now like you to publish for MY edification the list of stuff you are sure does not work. Put the problems where your post is, or as is said in the vernacular, you money where your.....you get it.

The support is there. Have the support staff told you there is NO help for you?

When it comes to features, something the software did not do is that supposed to be free?

So if you want banjo parts for left handed amputees and they go ahead and implement that is it a fix or a new feature.

As far as I'm concerned your post really pushed my buttons.

It seems you are perpetually dissatisfied with the software, yet you hang in here. Why?

I'm going out to the garage now and smack the heavy bag as hard as I can, osteoporosis be dammed.
