For the use of the improved version and manuals for those six months.  If you
didn't need the extra power of Turbo C++, then you have indeed been ripped.
For me, it was well worth the $100 upgrade, and this Windows version is so
much more powerful that I think they are being very reasonable, especially
since the Whitewater Toolkit, which normally costs $160 by itself, is
included.
