That's not my view at all. However, you mentioned that you were a "loyal" customer; I simply pointed out that most companies don't consider someone who buys one product, once, to be a loyal customer. As for your view, if you carry that to its extreme, you would go out of business pretty quickly. After all, it would be best for your customers if you worked for free. > CF 4.5 still has plenty of value to me.

If it's not, don't buy it. You know how much it will cost, so you should be able to figure this out for yourself (and you may have already). But there's absolutely no point in going on about how you deserve to pay less than they're willing to sell for, because that's not going to happen.
