Hi Steve:
Unfortunatelly for you, prices will still go down as much as competence grows
faster than the market and the professional customers -what a pretty
denomination for assholes like us that purchase a lot more than can swallow-
becomes tired. I still purchase, but a lot less than 1997 and in 1997 I bought
less than in 1996. I suppose there is a point that you are not willing to
surpass. But maybe a new category of programs is in the horizon that will
capture the imagination and the wallets of all us. I presume the partch will be
that of aditional features. REAL teacher, real tutorials, etc
