Years ago there used to be an upgrade policy on Chessbase chess programs (Fritz
2,3 etc) -- but back then the price was ( I can't remember exactly ) say $129
and the upgrade was say $69 ....then as PC's became more popular amd more
commercial programs, the prices started dropping.  Eventually, they dropped low
enough (in Chessbase's opinion) that a an upgrade discount is not longer
offered.

Solution - purchase the new product and sell the old CD on e-Bay and consider
the "net purchase" your upgrade price.  Junior 6 should fetch you at least
$15-$20 on eBay.

I really like the "loyalty" upgrade policy by Lokasoft and I don't even think
twice about upgrading for less than $30.
