If I recall, MacWeek mentionned that the upgrade price for Excel 3.0 will be
$149!! I bought an 'educational' version of Excel 2.2 (same program and docs,
just a special price for educational institutions) for $100 canadian, or
about $84 US. That's almost twice what I paid to get an upgrade; maybe the
'educational' version of 3.0 will be cheaper than the upgrade. No wonder piracy 
is so common, I don't know a lot of students that could afford the upgrade after
having shelled out the $100 shortly before.

Just my two cents worth, Bertrand Limoges
