Oh, I guess you're right.  I'm sorry.  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!

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.
