So how many of us are stuck with Frame 7.2?

[Shmuel Wolfson]

By Adobe changing their upgrade policy, to *not* allow upgrades for a 
few version back, they essentially have raised their price a lot for 
those who want to stay even somewhat current.

You used to be able to upgrade every three versions without a problem. 
Now you have to upgrade *every* version to get the $400 upgrade price. 
Essentially they raised their upgrade price 300%!

You really have to wonder whether we should be looking a for a cheaper 
solution. FrameMaker is a good program, but is it really worth the price?
