Check out this link for educational discount pricing. Borland really gives significant discounts to "faculty, staff, and students of accredited academic institutions."
For example: Delphi or JBuilder Enterprise
Reg: $2999
w/ Discount: $399
Kylix Enterprise
Reg: $1999
w/ Discount: $399
It really is a great price when you figure in all the the features that you get for $400. I know I'll never get use them all, though I'd like to:)
I spend almost two hours a day in this project, with almost five hours a day on weekends and on vacation.
As for the wife and kids... well they all are way too happy with the new items at home, you know. Are you sure they'd rather have the new TV, DVD, PC, freezer and laundry machine than spend 20 more hours a week with their father/husband. All too often developers lose sight of what's really important by getting lost in their art.
Don't fall into that trap! Every day could be your last! Errr...something. Peace.

According to the FCC, Fax.com sent advertisements and other messages on behalf of more than 100 businesses for a fee, sparking 489 violations.
I wonder how the FCC knows that 489 faxes were sent out? Phone records? Customer Complaints? How does that work?
Would it be possible to count all the spam a spammer sends out?
