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,

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.
