   I just called Wolfram Research (the maker of Mathematica) directly -- since
   they are located here in Champaign, IL -- and was told that their student
   price for the Macintosh version of Mathematica is $139.  When I asked him
   about an alleged $49 price, his reply was that he doesn't know "what's going
   on there".  He said no way could Wolfram Research sell it for that little.

Aren't there two versions of Mathematica for the Mac?  Is the $139
version the Mac II program?
