THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

Several of us in my office had been hoping that we could get a site license
so that we could put C++ on all our development machines,  and then get all
the developers broken into C++ and OOP by using C++ initially "as a better C",
and then learning OOP techniques.

Well, if these really are the prices, I'm sorry to say that C++ won't be
used here. I think we were hoping more like $2K for a site license.
AT&T, are you listening???

I understand that gnu g++ depends upon gcc. Is a gcc available for 3B's?
