the $13,000 price may not be the valid one for many colleges.
i gather that if a school is part of the HESC (higher ed software
consortium) then one gets a site license for all software. assuming
a computing center foots that bill, then one can deduct about
$1,700 for software from the list price.  you then apply the appropriate
educational discount to the remainder. in our case we end up with
a $8,000 price tag.
