*** and a HUGH advertisement...  For which I would have been flamed. :-(

Anyway, to answer you particular question, we have educational discounts
and we have site licenses of our software.  Our educational discount amounts
to 30% off which would make our $149 product sell for $104.30 and in site
quantities goes down to about $45 per copy.  Sooo, I don't know what there
is to like about the other product other than price, and I don't think that
price is an issue.  Perhaps we need to be more explicit in our marketing
materials... :-)

Hope that clears things up.
