Apparently there are two academic versions of PM:  one, which costs $155 at
OSU, is the complete package but doesn't provide any upgrade path.  (Big deal,
since the upgrade is $150 anyway, just go out and buy the latest version brand
new when it comes out); and the other, which costs around $65, is truly crippled--some
features are left out, document size is limited to 12 pages, stuff like that.
 But for $65, it'll probably do much of what a student needs.
