In my search for reasonably-priced software, I came across the
following web sites. Two of these were recommended to me by list
members, the others I found in a web search of my own using http://www.metafind.com, my favorite search engine.
zones.com (PC Zone)
warehouse.com (Micro Warehouse)
pparadise.com (Programmer's Paradise -- they have doc & help
authoring stuff, too)
software.net
download.com
You won't find that a single source has all the best prices, so remember
what "my momma" said.
[musical interlude = "My momma told me, `You better shop around.'"]
Where did THAT come from? Amazing how long a song'll stay in your
memory.
