The current release of AutoCAD is Release 9, Release 10 is due out soon.  If
you purchase Release 9 now, you can get a free upgrade to Release 10 when it
is available.  Please note, the best price does NOT indicate the best dealer.
If you want a "reliable" dealer, you will more than likely have to pay more.
A reliable dealer will provide you with a level of support that only a
decent profit margin can afford.  A good dealer will have been in business
specializing in AutoCAD for at least two years.  The lowest price dealer
may not even have to product in stock and might not even be able to
properly install the software, and more than likely will not be selling
AutoCAD when it comes time for your next upgrade.  To find the name of
your best dealer in your area, call Autodesk @ (415) 332-2344 and ask to
speak with the dealer sales represenative that handles your area.  This
person will be able to give you the name of a good dealer.  If you wish
to write to Autodesk, the address is:

Autodesk, Inc.

Good Luck, Steve
