(And I don't have that much idle cash lying about at the moment...so I won't be buying it anytime soon, either.) Too bad there isn't a student price in the $150 or so range, but I'm not one to complain; edu pricing is good in that it allows students to buy useful software they otherwise couldn't afford, but it's bad when students think a low edu price is a God-given right. If I can't afford it at the price they offer, I just have to wait until I can...and by then, Pages or Archetype may look better to me. Who knows? :) -Don Yacktman yackd@alaska.et.byu.edu
