Bob,
The free version is cheap
It's actually not too bad either if you just want to display basic charts. I've never used the $$ version, but I think if you're going to pay for something, AmiBroker might be a better choice.

I use float.com.au for data, which is free.
However, you get what you pay for, so you have to handle splits, merges, etc. by yourself.

I've got to agree with GP.
Fcharts is OK, but if you're going to spend money get Amibroker - it's very good.
I also use float.com.au for my data, though if you're are comsec client you can get some data from them as well.

It depends what you want to do. If you want to do portfolio testing of systems and set up your own highly customised charts with Interpretation I would go for Amibroker.
If you want to do some basic stuff and aren't interested in setting mechanical trading systems you could try something else. AmiBroker is the best charting software that I have used, and I did look at Fcharts some time back. You can just use AB as a basic charting package or you can get into higher level coding to test ideas that you have. I would recommend AmiBroker to anyone without hesitation.
