I didn't notice that this was boulder.general. In that case, I'd like everyone to please ignore my previous remarks. $200 is a GREAT PRICE! BEGIN MAKING OFFERS IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT DELAY! >However, I did say or best offer, and for a non >education associated person this is probably a good deal. You're right. In fact, that gives me a great idea. Theoretically, some student could just buy the educational version for $99 and then immediately sell it for, oh, just for example say $200 and make a big profit. WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT EARLIER?! I'LL RUN RIGHT DOWN TO THE BOOKSTORE NOW AND PICK UP A COPY OF EVERY SINGLE SOFT- WARE PACKAGE I CAN GET AND THEN SELL IT FOR TWICE THE EDUCATIONAL PRICE TO SOME UNSUSPECTING SCHMUCK WHO THINKS HE'S GETTING A GOOD DEAL! AIN'T I THE CLEVER ONE! Todd. -- === Todd Bradley--Waiting for a Scooby Snack... === === 303-443-6317 home, 492-5826 office, 530-9000 other office === === "I hate my mother. I hate my father.
