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...
