- I bought the Alpha Four for $99 dollars and think it is fine for the money I
- spent but I sure wouldn't be happy if I had paid $500. But then again I have
- not made the same effort to learn the software either. If you don't own a
- database program then Alpha four would be okay. If you already have dbase or
- another foxbase don't buy it.
