As, while attending a conference, last month I saw SmartSuite/2
on sale in the Stanford University Bookstore (though only to
students and faculty :-) at $175 I'm not going to take
complaints about prices of things made by students (especially
from the US) seriously again :-) Cost of SS/2 to me in the UK would be
around $525 ... and that would be at a discounted upgrade from
Lotus products price :-)
