Andrew, I hope I'm reading this wrong -- but if I'm not, SOMEONE is doing a
very good job of price gouging.

You're talking the vanilla, standard, downloadable TSM NT client at four
hundred fifty pounds Sterling? The client that was one hundred dollars US in
version 2? And (while we *never* got a useable quote from anyone) sold for
about one hundred seventy dollars US in version 3.7?

The TDP/MSQL (unfortunately) looks about correct -- Tivoli seems to have
decided to charge for "TDP for Databases" and let you decide which product
you really want once you get the CD.
