Gmm.
Let's everyone really write the message to Corel, but
inserting your own actual idea of how much should it cost
for you just go and buy it. Why should you lie, what for?

Proposed template:


	To: wp@ec.camitel.com
	Subject: WP 7.0 For freeBSD

	Hello,

	I'll happily buy WP 7.0 for FreeBSD! _but_ at $67.95, not 495$;
	and if the price will be $49.95, I will shout at each street
	corner about such a great offer from Corel to us, free-UNIX
	users.  (Please remember -- free-UNIX users aren't corporations!)

	Thanks!

	ZIP:	...

Substitute your idea of reasonable price for WP 7.0 in the template
above. :-)  I'm not in US, so my idea of reasonability might differ
from yours.  BTW -- what will be WP 7.0 price for their winglows97
version?  That might give us yet another approximation of
price reasonability.
