To clarify my previous comments on SPEC membership:

SPEC membership costs:

	Initiation	$10,000
	Annual Dues	$ 5,000

SPEC Associate:

	Initiation	$2,500
	Annual Dues	$1,000

To qualify as a SPEC associate, you must be an accredited educational
institution or a non-profit organization.  An associate has no voting
privileges.  An associate will receive the newsletter and the benchmark
tapes as they are available.  In addition, an associate will have early
access to benchmarks under development so that an associate may act in an
advisory capacity to SPEC.

The SPEC tape still costs $699 which includes the cost of a 1 year
subscription to the SPEC newsletter.  The tape by itself costs $300.  
There are no discounts for the SPEC tape/newsletter.
