I have the Application Developer's set, unlimited user license.  I purchased
this software in January of this year.  I was quoted an upgrade price 
directly from Interactive of $750.00 and one of their vendors quoted me
a price of $650.00!!
 
So, four months after shelling out a LARGE sum of cash to purchase
Interactive 2.02, I'm being told to spend another $650-$750 if I want
to stay current??
 
I hear that the upgrade to ESIX's revision D software is being offered
to their revision C users at $100.00 or so...   Now that's an upgrade!!

Just my .02 worth.
