	Yeah, the idea is to protect the dealer.

	Roger Wagner did this with HyperStudio for v3.0.  Basically,
if you buy the program after the next update is announced, you get
that update for a cheaper price or for free.  So those who purchased
HyperStudio v2.0 after 3.0 was announced, got the updates pretty cheap
or free.  The ByteWorks gives free updates for small revisions, if you
buy between certain dates (ie. v1.2 -> v1.3).

	I'm not sure why the $50 upgrade deal is only good until Feb.
28, though.  After which time it goes up to $60.  The package new is
only about $80, right?

	The way it protects the dealer is, ideally, if you get a free
update, you won't be as inclined to return the package, causing a
hassle for both the mail order house and the company.
