Academic pricing?  What academic pricing?  I'm a big fan of buying software,  
and own real copies bought with my own money of Create, Frame, Microphone, 
Simon Says, Diagram!, Concurrence, Virtuoso, and a few other packages.  I was  
all set to plunk down some cash for PasteUp until I found out that they have NO  
academic pricing.  Come on guys, get real.  Better to sell a couple hundred (or
a couple thousand) academic copies at $100 to $200, than none at all.  As it
is I'll use Frame until Pages comes out...

The Pages folk are on the net.  The Archetype folks are local (I think they're
in Waltham).  I have numbers at home.  If no one posts by tommorrow, I'll
bring them in and post the info.
