I am a full bona fide registered owner of TB; I guess I'll have to call them
back about this discount for upgrading to PB if that's what I want to do.
I may have gotten an upgrade card for PB a few years ago, but I probably
just dismissed it without reading it fully, assuming that it was just more
advertising for yet another product, and my BASIC needs were already met.
(So I thought).

Based on the PB review posted here, it appears that there are a great
number of things that fall into the "enhancement" category!
