Well, yes, I SHOULD be able to buy Mathematica (for my Plus, even) at the
educational discount.  However, because Wolfram Research apparently predicates
their selling to university stores at a discount upon the software being
bundled with every new Mac II sold, and since our store is unwilling to do
that, I can't get it.  I'm mighty upset 'bout that, since I'd buy it in an
instant.
 
Thanks to the folks who have written suggesting the Kinko's software and the
upcoming software from the folks who did Expressionist.  Any other ideas?
