Not true.  I just received an upgrade offer (really weird, since I 
don't own the product) and you can upgrade to PB 3.0 from any previous
version of PB or Turbo Basic (including version 1.0) for $59.

PB 3.0 seems to have loads of new features:  an in-line assembler,
bit manipulation operators (including rotations), user-defined
data types, additional built-in data types (byte, word, dword),
an editor which can handle files larger than 64K, standalone
debugger, and tons more.  It is being touted as the most robust
and complete programming language/environment available.

I`d still like to hear from anyone using the product (not
necessarily version 3.0).
