So any software that costs $135 is "extermely unnattractive"?  How
much do you think the MacOS will cost when you buy a prep machine?
How much is the Win 95 upgrade? $135 is hardly out of line for an OS
as extensive as NT, and with home users purchasing Win95, the Plus
Pack, and usually 4 extra megs to go with it, apparently they don't
feel the price is out of line.
