I would like to try it for the same reason but somehow the upgrade price seems
too good to be true.  And it doesn't pass the logic test.  Why would they be
willing to chop $80 (better than 60%) off their price solely because a buyer
proves he owns a similar program?  It has been my experience that when vendors
offer "upgrades" to users of other programs they expect you to send in your
original disk which then transfers ownership rights to them.  Maybe I'm
living in the marketing dark ages but I remain skeptical.
