I think we will continue to see prices of the "professional" programs go down.
This probably won't hurt the programmers or the sales outlets, however, because
people will end up spending the same amount of money but buying more programs.
While I would not spend $120 every year for the latest program, I could see
buying 2 or 3 programs every year if they were only $25 or $30 each.
