My company won't upgrade computers, much less software. Getting a new copy of Windows even is like pulling teeth. Our interns work on one P266 (two people). I wish there was an upgrade for CEOs.
We've had 99 SE for maybe four months, but we bought it new--two copies in fact. So I guess that means they still make it.

If "just" means recently then you must have bought 2nd hand copies? Otherwise you would have paid for a P99SE migration pack, which includes DXP when you have the need/want/hardware to run it. Or am I wrong - can you still buy new P99SE licesnses? Otherwise the quote upgrade price is about $2500. Lets assume a designers on-cost is between 25 and 50 dollars per hour - 25 to 50 hours of improved productivity will pay for it, one week. So, the question then is how long will I have to be running DXP to get 25 to 50 hours of productivity improvement? That is the real question, not the actual cost. But this is a harder question to answer. I have been a little disingenuous here, I haven't included the learning curve which is significant in one area - queries. Add a few days for that.
