I was surprised to see Prograph selling at one of our local bookstores for
$133.00 educational price.  It seems to me that we payed something like
$250 educational price.  Anyonw know which is right?

I just talked to them, and they are making more of a push in the 
universities.  I did not ask specifically about pricing, but university 
bookstore prices vary widely, depending upon the markup the bookstore 
puts on things.  Prograph sells here for about $160, I think.

I believe if you call Prograph and fax a student id or something they 
will sell you direct at 50% off, which is what most software companies 
do.  You can't really expect them to undercut their dealers.

Yeah that's how we ordered prograph to being with.  Since the retail is
$495 that means we paid $250.  I'm not that concerned about it since we bought
it for my department but if I had paid persoanlly for it I would be rather
upset.  Who said anything about expecting them to undercut their dealers?
