If you're a teacher/student (or know someone who is), check out The
Software Source (http://iaswww.com/source.html). They have incredible
prices (FrameMaker 5.0.1 for $399), but you have to be a teacher, student,
or educational institution. This is not an an endorsement. I've never
bought anything from them and I don't know anyone who has. Truth is,
I'm curious to see if this is as good as it looks! So if anybody buys
anything from them, or knows anything (good or bad) about this
company, please let me know.
