I've been using maple on the workstations here at CMU, and it would be very nice to have it for my A3000, but the list price is pretty steep ($350 I believe) for most students (including me) to afford. So is there any kind of student discount so that I could possibly afford it? // Rick Golembiewski rg20+@andrew.cmu.edu \\ \\ #include stddisclaimer.h // \\ "I never respected a man who could spell" // \\ -M.

The price of US$395 is their education discount price, and honestly for the size and power of this piece of software, I think that the price is within reason. The price is the cheapest it is for any machine. If you think that it is only about %12 the cost of your A3000, that isn't really too bad (assuming that you have an application for it).

I priced maple for our Sun4 sometime last year, and the price is a steep CDN$2995. >// Rick Golembiewski rg20+@andrew.cmu.edu \\ John Feiler
