Am I the only one that thinks this is incredibly overpriced?   It's only a  
viewer and converter right?  It would be worth that for an *editor*.  Not to  
mention the fact nearly all these conversions can be done with stuff that is  
free from the net.  The $99 student price seems like it should be the list  
price.

Just my $.02...
