I'm an Idiot!!!!!

So, I'm learning a valuable lesson at the moment. I own Duxbury which I use for translating my documents into braille files. I've had it since early 2004. I got version 10.4, and was entitled to a free upgrade to 10.5. Great. So, I got it.

When version 10.6 was released I chose not to upgrade because $195 just seemed like a lot of money to pay for an update. So now, here we are almost halfway through 2008. The need has presented itself, and I could really use the update to 10.7, which is just in the process of being shipped. The problem? Because I waited so incredibly long to pay for an upgrade, it's now going to cost me $295 instead of $195. It's my own fault for not updating earlier, but it doesn't exactly help knowing that at this precise moment.

OUCH!!!

But you are skipping 10.6 right?
So you would have spent $195 on 10.6
then another $195 on 10.7
So really you saved $100 bucks.

If I'm reading this right, they're making you pay for both 10.6 and 10.7 at the same time with that price structure. At which point I just have to ask. You use that why?

What it is is that they have a certain upgrade price if you bought the program within three years ago, after which the price goes up. Having to spend extra money in a situation like that is a very painful situation to be in, believe me, I know. And she needs it because it's the best program out there to accomplish what she wants to accomplish. I feel her pain.
