I've got no time for that, but it's a fine idea.

The version of Wise they just sent is US$800 retail, and street price
doesn't seem to be significantly lower.  That's a hard sell without Windows
revenue to offset it (and Open Source management is even more delusional
than commercial-shop mgmt about the economics of throwing programmer-months
at problems for which top-tier solutions *could* be purchased at once
<wink>).  Wise was happy to accommodate once I reached the right person, but
achieving the latter stretched over months.
