Wow $97.00 for Encarta 94!  Could I have the source?  I can use it to get
better pricing here.  Microsoft indicates the introductory offer and also
generate an Educational price list.  I'll find out what my dealer's cost
is.  Thanks for the info as it may save us $$ on future purchases.  You
may wish to confirm the price you received as well.
