Hi Larry,
I remember you from the 1.0 beta testing days
Yes we do miss Mark very much - he was a genius in many ways, and a great friend as well.
As for the version of Composer, it has been our company policy that any major upgrades (eg. from 1 - 2) are free if they occur within 6 months of the purchase. I don't have a timeline for a 3.0 release right now as we are still looking for a new developer, so you're safe either way
Thanks!
Sherry
