To help clarify your club members the upgrade "cost" of MS, you may want to demonstrate the *true* cost of the Magic solution -- having an abandoned software that cannot be maintained any longer. The MS upgrade cycle mentioned by others, almost assure the same result.
Actually, this is not a good example. Magic was delivered in two flavors - developer and run time. In order to modify the code of the application you needed the developer version, as well the developer.
Access does have this limitation.
I think the only viable long term solution for low a budget community is
to share the load -- e.g: start a non-ambitious OSS project and try to
interest other glider clubs (either in Israel or elsewhere -- logbooks are
logbooks after all). This way you get a living software instead of a dead and/or costly product.
