There was a registration card in 1.2 where you could check a box saying
you wanted all the upgrades for $29.95.  I presume you checked it and
they indeed don't know the difference.  I at least hope they kept the
two piles of registration cards in different files.  I'll check this out.
One would think that even a moderately intelligent person would know
that software for one computer does not necessarily work on another, like
tires for one car do not necessarily fit another car.  One would apparently
be wrong.
