Last week I posted a msg about price rises for InfoAccess Transit products.
A few people have suggested that I'm confusing
a new price for HTML Transit with the current price for Transit Central. A
couple of others checked the website, then wrote to say they still don't
believe it, but they've sent InfoAccess a message anyhow - words like BOZOS
and NUTS have been quoted.
I don't believe it either, but the following prices are taken directly from
the InfoAccess website. There's a special offer on support that expires on
31 Dec 99 - I didn't look at the details.
If you're a current user, I'd be interested to know if InfoAccess have
contact you about the new prices for support and for upgrades. Replies are
probably best sent to me directly; I'll summarise for the list if there
seems to be enough interest.
