Someone wondered about my comment on the fact that a $69.00 upgrade to LSC
3.0 seemed to be expensive. The whole point of a reduced upgrade fee is to
reward previous and (supposedly) faithful users with a better deal than Joe
Schmoe who is just off the street buying the program for the first time. I
*DIDN"T* say that I felt that THINK was robbing us blind or anything, it's
just that when I can walk down the street and buy a brand new LSC 2.15
which will be upgraded to 3.0 for free for _$75.00_ it is a little tought to
swallow a $69.00 fee for the upgrade. And of course, if you want to talk
(SSSHHHHH< He's going to say it >) PC market (GASSSP!! He said it! And in a
Macintosh newsgroup no less!) you can get Turbo C for $67.00 from the mail
places. Again, this is *NOT* a flame at THINK, it is not a "my Turbo C can
beat hell out of your LSC compiler" war, it is just a comment on the term
"upgrade."
