My reaction was just the opposite.  For $69 I promptly 
received five disks and three manuals, providing me with
a complete object programming environment.  Given the
cost of good Macintosh programmers and tech writers, 
packaging, advertising, support and overhead, I
think Symantec's upgrade price is very reasonable.
