	It isn't clear what Jack means by a "three computer system," but
presuming he means a three *user* system (whether the users connect to
the server locally or from client workstations is not relevant to
licensing costs), the cost would be:

Server + 1 user license: $200
2 addtional users: $300

	...so the total cost is $500 in this case. 

	If he wanted three copies of desktop edition (for local-only
connectivity on three separate, un-linked databases), it would cost
$180.

	I'm not sure where the $3200 number came from, but it's *way* out of
line.
