	Whoaa!!! No WAY!!!  I paid $399.00 (four hundred dollars) for 
Truespace at the COMDex special price, but Man. Sugg. Retail is only 
$795.00!!
	You are supposed to be able to purchase it mail-order from Caligari
Corp. themselves for $499.00 - $599.00, or retail for $499.00 - $599.00!

	Please, one reason I brought this up is that trueSpace could compete
with Imagine on a price basis.  I have the OFFICIAL Caligari Propoganda 
sheets, including a re-printed review from PC Magazine (May 31, 1994-Volume
13, Number 10).  
	Caligari trueSpace (the t is supposed to be lower case) is not an 
over-priced package.  Considering what it can do (reputedly), it is or should
be well worth the green you lay out for it.  Discount or no.

	BTW- This reply not intended to be hostile.  Hope it isn't taken 
as such.  I was once told Imagine 2.0 was priced at $1999.00.
