John John John, The nomal interval for version changes is appx. 6 months. However,this 2012.5 update was some what late,leaving some to wonder if it would be skipped completly. I had all but given up when it was released. You purchased after that and a dec.1 2013 version has you feeling cheated. Hang in,pay the $99.00 like every one else and keep up the good work you are capable of. It will not happen again,unless you let it .------Leon
