Todd Bradley writes: You must be joking! Anyone affiliated with the University (as most of the readers of this group ar--in one way or another) can get this same product through the bookstore for $99 new. Also, now that 3.0 is out and street prices for 2.0 are around $250 (new), I think you're fooling you- self if you think you'll get $00. Todd, if you noticed, this is boulder.general. I didn't post on cu.general because of this reason. I don't expect to sell it to anyone associated with CU. That would be dumb. However, I did say or best offer, and for a non education associated person this is probably a good deal. If people would just learn to try making offers they might get a lot more than they expected. Also, software is not a depreciateing thing. It's not like the distribution disks don't work as well once someone has used it, espeically when you only do one install. Also, I barely cracked the manuals, cuz of the on-line help with hypertext (much faster). Granted there is a new version out there, but the diffs between 2.0 and 3.0 if you're not a windows programmer are pretty much nil. I don't need it anymore, so I'm selling it... -- Christopher Bailey :: University of Colorado at Boulder :: CSCI & OPMG Internet: baileyc@spot.colorado.edu CompuServe: 70403,1522 "It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man!" - "Jack Handy"
