Unfortunately, there are not very many Smalltalk developers,
so people who sell to Smalltalk developers seem to believe
that they have to charge a lot because they will have small
sales no matter what.  They might be right.  

Perhaps the solution is to get more people using Smalltalk-80,
but the problem is that the prices are too high.

Sigh!
