[comp.sys.hp] Want an educational version of Wingz for HPUX? Call Informix.

I was interested in getting Wingz for my HP workstation, but was disappointed
to learn that Informix does not make a specially priced educational version
for HP-UX, so the cost is $600 or $650 instead of $200. Lovina Finders at 
Informix handles educational accounts, and she said that the education 
version is exactly the same as the standard version, just stamped "For 
Educational Use" or something to that effect. Why no educational version? 
The folks in marketing say that there is no demand, so they haven't bothered.

If you are at a school would like Wingz at a discount on your spiffy new snake
machine, or even if you don't want it right now but think it's a good idea, 
give Lovina a call and express an opinion. It's an 800 number and won't cost a 
penny:

(800) 438-7627.

Her extension is 4053, so you can dial 04053 as soon as the recorded voice
on the 800 number answers.

Of course, there's no guarantee that Informix will do anything, but the
the squeaky wheel gets the proverbial grease.
