When i purchased my silver membership for one year, i calculated that i have 9.2 available right now, and before my membership expires, i can have two more versions of Mandrake. That makes it 3 versions of Mandrake for $120. Though now i am not that willing to update to 10, as i have spent some time and have downloaded a lot of packages and i will have to do things from first if i decide to install 10! Besides i am not quite sure all packages that i want, are available now for 10. But a better advantage of club membership to buying a box, is perhaps constant access to up-to-date ready-made packages through club download sites. Even if one wants to compile an application from the source, as i did recently with Gimp 2.0pre4, i could easily find all necessary libraries to compile Gimp on my machine without any error.
