Hi Netters,

I'm a graduate student with a humble Mac plus, and was wondering
what was the best symbolic maths package I could get for the money.
(I mention that because although Mathematica seems to get all
the attention - it is still a very expensive program in terms of
the initial outlay, and the machine that you need to use it
effectively).

I have a demo copy of MILO from the sumex archives and am impressed
with it, and am thinking of getting the 'real thing'.

Has anybody any experience with it?
Are there any alternatives comparable in price?
Does anybody have any comments in general (always good to start
something going!!)?

Thanks in advance for your time,
it would probably be better to e-mail me direct and I'll summarize
to the net.
