Only a slight clarification: Ken makes it seem as if you can get Stone
Serif, Informal, and Sans Serif, for example, *all* for only $20. Actually,
you get your choice of one of these packages. Still quite a deal.

Actually, this has been a very good Fall for me because of Adobe. First,
I bought the old version of Illustrator for $275; it came bundled with
ATM 1.2. It included a coupon for buying a limited set of font packages
for $50. I bought Stone Serif.

Then, I upgraded the bundled ATM 1.2 to 2.0 and got the special $39 font
deal. Bought Stone Sans. Of course, I also get a FREE upgrade to Illustrator
version 3 when it appears (which, as Ken said, is supposed to be Oct 15th).
All in all, I've become quite an Adobe enthusiast! And I think folks can still
get in on this deal, because several mail order outfits (e.g., MacWarehouse)
are still selling Illustrator 1.9.5 with ATM 1.2 bundled.
