Anyone investigating the purchase of a symbolic math package should
read the review of same in the Feb 3, 1989 issue of _Science_
magazine.  It comes down pretty hard on Mathematica.  A salesman from
Wolfram told me that a new version will ship in about 30 days, but he
didn't know how many of the concerns in the _Science_ article are
addressed.
