You are also correct in stating your comments about development costs.  The
expenses to develop a product must be passed on to the consumer although I
would much rather they not be but I have little choice and I understand their
high price.  Take PageMaker 4.0 for example.  It will list at $795.  I'm sure
that one will be pirated to a great extent but Aldus can't help it really.
It's just their development costs getting in the way.  By the way, PM 4.0 will
go for $199 here at GA Tech.  GREAT PRICE!!  I'm getting one!
Take care,
Winston
