Hi Kim -

Our department's purchasing person has gotten prices from Jackie Desander at
the Computer Store. They aren't as good as they were in the past.

In one email, we were quoted a price of $5.50 per client, but that was
revised to $3.50 per client.

Our licenses don't expire until June, though, so we might be a special case.
I'd advise contacting Jackie to get the final word.

This was mentioned at the last NAG meeting as well.  We're getting down to
the wire...  Does anyone know
about the status of renewing the agreement with Symantec??
