- Prices range over two orders of magnitude, from around $100 to over
- $10000 for a single user. It depends on the features of the C++ system,
- the computer, and the O/S. I don't know what kind of average would be
- helpful under these circumstances.

- But if a "big one" is in the range of $0.10 to $10, then 1200 sounds
- about average. :-)
