Default Starry Night 4.5

Has anyone upgraded to Starry Night 4.5 yet. Is it worth it ?

I nearly upgraded today until I saw that the postage for the upgrade was
minimum $26.00 !!! As far as I can tell its only two CD-ROMs.

I will be contacting them to see if they can delivery any other way apart
from my own personal courier plane !

In theory you could source the cds from someone else with them. As I
understand it the licence is not tied to the media...

Thanks Mutz,

Thats is for the full version which is a good deal, but I'd rather go for
the upgrade (which is £35.00) provided I can get it posted to me for a fair
price !

Cheers.........Adam

P.S I have emailed Starry Night and let them know my displeasure at their
lack of postal options. The only way I can see round it at the moment is
for a few of us to get together and do a bulk order or something !

there are 3 versions there i noticed.

What one will be best, as the descriptions say pretty much the same thing. I
mean, what is different about buying the £80 to the £100 one, much?

Anyone with any experience with these software titles, please give your
opinions.
