  Well, it seems I made a bad purchase decision when I got FrameMaker. It's
a great, powerful program--I just can't afford the upkeep. Kinda like 
inheriting a mansion. I just found out that the upgrade to 3.0 will cost me
$300--and that only if I act "now". I took out a loan to get my computer,
and thought I'd be all set with FrameMaker, but my wallet's suffering bad.
I'm a person, not a corporation. I can't afford 1/3 again the list price of
a product to upgrade. I haven't even had much of a chance to try FrameMaker
out (busy term)....sigh.
  If anyone wants to buy it (version 2.0d), let me know. I'd like $300 for
the program itself (willing to lose $200). You'd still be stuck with the
upgrade cost: $300 more if you act "now". Not much I can do about that part.
  Yes, I am a student and got the educational discount (for the curious).

  Please read all pending messages before mailing me an offer; I'll post if
and when I sell it, you neither of us will have to mail back and forth....

  Thanks for your time.
