($1,000 - 5) This must be the general list price. The last time I checked (a month ago) the price for educational institutions is $395. At $995 Maple/Mac is not competetive with Reduce which is available for Mac but not for Amiga. That makes me wonder. And given the availability of Cambridge Lisp for the Amiga, it must be possible to put Reduce on it. Any volunteers?
