Well, we'll see how this flies. Someone named Annie got back to me this evening from SilverFast in Florida. She gave me the correct URL for the $10 upgrade of AI. The fly in the buttermilk is SilverFast wants me to provide "proof of purchase." Now I was forced to send in my original receipt (stupid me, I never made a copy) and the bar code off the packing box in order to get my $200 rebate from Polaroid. I've asked this Annie what else might serve as "proof" for SilverFast. I have my fingers crossed but I don't know. <g>
Annie didn't mention the HDR either way so I suppose the upgrade for that now is the straight $45.
