   As a registered owner of Suitcase , I received the update (1.3->2.0)
notice from Fifth Generation Systems, the people who now publish the program.
In the letter that I received from them, they said that 2.0 would be available
at the Boston Expo. Well, I sent in the update form with my credit card 
number, and the Boston dates came and went without a new Suitcase. Yesterday
I got my credit card bill in the mail, and guess what was on it -- you got it, 
the Suitcase upgrade price. I called the company a couple of minutes ago, and
was told that version 2.0 would ship on Sept. 15. That date is 1 month after
they charged my credit card for the program. I think that this is a pretty 
sleazy practice, and I would encourage anyone else who is thinking of upgrading
to wait until the new version is out before sending any money.
   I guess that this is the price we pay as the Mac grows up -- the little 
developers who are try to put the customer first are swallowed up by bigger
companies, whose business practices are not as customer oriented as they
possibly should be.
