A friend of mine recieved the upgrade notice about 2 weeks ago.  I bought
actor about a month ago and should get the notice any day now.  Anyway,
you can upgrade to Actor 3.1 professional for $195.  The upgrade comes 
with ObjectGraphics, ObjectWindows and the WRT.  According to 
the propaganda, 

"With Actor 3.1, we've enhanced Actor's support for Windows DLL's, and also improved support for accessing db_Vista and Btrieve databases."  

I'm wondering if the people that just bought it for $99 can can even 
a better price.   Probably not, they probably sold it for $99 to get 
a lot of people hooked and then sell them the upgrade.  

If you have purchased either the WRT or ObjectGraphics already, you can
upgrade for only $125.  Such a deal.


Anyway, my question to you Actor people out there is this:  Is it worth 
the upgrade to get ObjectGraphics and ObjectWindows.  I was going
to buy the WRT (or buy BC++ to get it) anyway, and ObjectGraphics sounds
good, but I would like to hear from someone who has used it. Any and all
opinions welcome of course.


Thanks,

Bill
