Probably most people [MacWeek included] are not aware of the update.  Just
because you sent them [Monogram] a registration card doesn't mean they should
notify you of upgrades.  I called them the day I bought it [coincidentally the
day I upgraded to system 6 - what a nasty first impression].  They told me it
would not work with the new system - they would need time to fix it.  After
MacWorld, I called them for the update and asked why they didn't notify
registered users.  "We just tell people who call..."  What the hell is the
registration for!?  I don't think Monogram is the only guilty party.  The only
upgrade noticies I've ever received were LightSpeed C and OnCue.  I've heard
DiskFit has a newer version, but I haven't called them yet.  I've also seen
many postings for SUM - why haven't they sent an official update? Between my
personal software and programs at work, I've got too many to call each
publisher periodically and ask, "Do you have an upgrade?"  This is absurd!
Why don't they all mail upgrade notices as standard policy?
