Although I'm just now investigating this application's usefulness to me, I took the time to visit the author's site to learn more about it's capabilities. In doing so, I found an upgrade link reporting that for $9.95 previously registered users can download an upgrade, and that users of v1.7 and above (I'm not familiar with the version history, but it looks like there were several updates) were eligible for free upgrades. So, a user like towne, who initially paid $7.50 for the application can upgarde for $9.95, bringing his total cost for this version to $17.45 - a savings of $2.50 over new users. This seemes like a reasonable upgrade path. In fact, it's one of the few that I've had experience with that actually favors the user and forces the developer to take a small loss. Hopefully this information will stop further complaints from those who would like to upgrade, but neglected to check the site in order to do so.
