Just got off the phone with Interleaf.
A bit of background. I'leaf sells WPS for $3k and TPS for $15K. (These
are prices for Apollo's)
The Mac ][ version is TPS. Good.
It is $2495. Good.
It is version 3.0, which is what is also currently running on everything else.
Good.
Problem is, when you update from V3.0 to V4.0 (coming soon) on an Apollo
its a minimal expense.
For the Mac, you have to BUY IT AGAIN. Thats right, another $2495.
To be fair, it you have bought maintenence, you get a 20% discount.
Draconian.
