Hi,

can anybody tell me if Wolfram Research has an e-mail address, so I can
ask them why the student version of Mathematica does cost more than 700 US$
here in Germany?

Hey, tell me this is not true! I've read about something like $ 150 in the US.

I did ask two official Apple dealers here in Germany and they both told me
these horrible prices. The cheaper one offered a "normal" version for 700 US$
and an "extended" version for about 1000 US$ (student prices!).

BTW, can anybody tell me, if the US version is running with the German
keyboard and MacOS?

Michael
