$130 ($90 academic). Still expensive, but not a couple hundred. (Just in the interests of accuracy!)

Just in the interests of accuracy, to use your words, I stand by what I wrote.

What I wrote was in response to your post describing the program, and noting that one required Mathematica in order to run it.

So if it is $130 (I do not have access to academic pricing) to purchase A WorkLife FrameWork?, and I have to purchase Mathematica to run it, I am going to have to expend more than $200 by a long shot.

So I was inaccurate neither in the context you had presented nor in the context of my personal situation, not being fortunate to have Mathematica.

In the interests of accuracy,

Your context, as you describe it, requires $130 + $300 for Mathematica, $430 total. This is far from a couple hundred. In my context (academic), Mathematica is free (site license), and WorkLife is $90, for a total of $90, also far from $200. "A couple hundred" is pretty inaccurate in both contexts, actually.

I hope this otherwise interesting thread isn't going to devolve into a pissing contest.

I don't think anyone really cares about the actual dollar amount for software that few of us are going to buy.

@bobmclain: Good point about the pissing contest. My sentiments exactly. However, issues of tone aside, I don't think it's fair to say that accurately stating the price of something is somehow out of bounds or irrelevant. It's the tone that was off, not the content.

Cheers,
David

On the contrary, I was delighting in the irony of a thread on "the most geeky outliner" devolving into a good, old-fashioned geek-off between two of (or shall I say "a couple of") our listmates. Could David and Daly possibly have chosen a more geeky point upon which so ardently to disagree?

With a geeky smile,

That's the spirit! Two thumbdrives way up!

David,

I stand corrected.

I did not realize Mathematica was free - I made an assumption: the wrong one. I do apologize for that, and for taking you to task.

You do seem rather fluid on whether WorkLife is $130 or $90.

My understanding is that the $90 is for academic pricing, for which I do not qualify.

So the cost for me is $130 plus the free Mathematica.
