So I don't need some of the tools like yacc and lex.  I don't have to
buy them.  Well hooray, I just saved some money.  Ha.  Nowhere have
I seen that the basic subset you get with the 3b2 is discounted
appropriately for each of the packages you don't get.

Now let's see, if I add the cost of all those packages to the basic
package, I get the cost of a source liscense.

Actually, I have no prices, so I'm exaggerating, but I wouldn't doubt
that it is close to true and there's no way I'm going to pay twice for
the software.  Also, since the price of Sys 5 is bundled in with the
3b2, does that mean that there are no educational discounts on it?
I would assume the bundled in price is the price they are charging the
real world.

AT&T had better get their act together if they don't want to lose their
shirt.
