- Actually, the edu price is about 20X that. (And I don't have that
- much idle cash lying about at the moment...so I won't be buying it
- anytime soon, either.) Too bad there isn't a student price in the
- $150 or so range, but I'm not one to complain; edu pricing is good
- in that it allows students to buy useful software they otherwise
- couldn't afford, but it's bad when students think a low edu price
- is a God-given right. If I can't afford it at the price they offer,
- I just have to wait until I can...and by then, Pages or Archetype
- may look better to me. Who knows? :)
