The upgrade to PM was ~$199. I had Corel Draw and instead of upgrading it, I did a competitive upgrade to PhotoShop for what I remember as well under $200. Somewhere in there, Adobe offered Illustrator for like $50 more than the upgrade price. I don't remember specifics but something like PM or PS were considered competitive upgrades. I purchased Acrobat to publish some documents but it comes in one of the other products now. Better stop this. It is too far off topic.
