By Adobe changing their upgrade policy, to *not* allow upgrades for a
few version back, they essentially have raised their price a lot for
those who want to stay even somewhat current.
You used to be able to upgrade every three versions without a problem.
Now you have to upgrade *every* version to get the $400 upgrade price.
Essentially they raised their upgrade price 300%!
You really have to wonder whether we should be looking a for a cheaper
solution. FrameMaker is a good program, but is it really worth the price?

If you check the PDF properties of Apple's documentation, you will
find that a surprising number are authored and published in FrameMaker
7. InDesign CS3 is also popular there.
And the TechCrunch blog recently forecast that Apple-based readers
will outnumber Windows-based readers by the end of 2012.

I know the "FrameMaker on Mac" horse was beaten to death long ago, but
perhaps it's time for Adobe to consider reviving the horse...

Is there any point in trying to get an upgrade to version 9, and
then at a later point upgrading again?
Frame 7 on Mac here, so doubly stuck.
