Satotage?   I contend that there are more people who don't use Emacs
now because of it's present distribution mechanism than won't because
of it's price.  The total lack of support and maintenance has turned
away many people.  I get sent tapes and it takes literally months for
me to return them.  That turns off far more people than price.
Universites are unusual cases.

Besides.  Prices are made of rubber, they can easily change.
