Just to make it really explicit:  that's a nominal _additional_ fee.  You
can't just get the programs for that price.  That's the incremental price
to get the dongle-free versions after you have gotten your 'best deal' on
the stock dongle protected version.  (It was worth it for me...and I
think Superplan is a much better spreadsheet than MaxiPlan; I got up to
version 1.9B, I think, on MaxiPlan till I couldn't stand the crashes and
lost data anymore.  Based on repeatable crashes related to spreadsheet
operations, I rate MaxiPlan 'Unacceptable'.)
