In July I purchased the 1.5 upgrade, which was absurdly overpriced at $54.95 for an incremental upgrade and bug fix. On top of it, I had to pay a $31.77 delivery charge to Canada. People mail me disks all the time from the U.S. for a couple of dollars. A month later I receive a bill for brokerage fee from FedEx for another $18.

So I paid $50 for them to mail me a disk on top of the incremental upgrade, for a total of $105.

I can hardly wait to see what they'll charge for version 2.

Upgrade Gouging - donhinkelman

I, too, have been excited about the potential of this program. However, after paying $120 for its predecessor, I gave up spending on the constant and rather expensive upgrade fees. MacSpeech has a serious marketing/management problem.
