every year I renew and I need to call in to get the yearly deal (current yearly I got was for $89 + royalty fees)
although I am a patient person, I really dislike speaking with the Phillpine call center...my yearly renewly peance is
typically about 30 painful miniutes on the phone.
I know there are other deals for a few months at a time, but because I hate calling in, I do it for the full year.
