I'd therefore assume that Silicon Beach will send you the full package. As a disclaimer, I'm doing this from memory, and might be off a bit, but it was a 2 digit sum, and $50 sounds right. Also, I suppose it would be _possible_ (as opposed to likely) that a company would send the full product to one group and a partial product to the "educational" group for the same price; though I really doubt that SB would do this. -JimC -- James H.
