We used it years ago but now just ordered it for use starting this summer 
again.  Don't know anything about it yet but most of the other support fees for 
software have also gone up.  This is a drastic leap.

Any one else out there using PLATO?

I just got my annual support contract and it went up 70%. They are telling me 
it is because the value of my software has increased and they are basing 
support on 12% of current market value. I think it is hog wash. from $1225 to 
$2,083.20 UUGGGHH.

What are the alternatives?

A: Yes.

There is a product I have heard that does the same thing as Plato.  I
can't remember the name of the product, but Tony Morrow (old Apple Rep)
is the local rep who was talking about it.  He also does the Academy of
Reading and the Academy of Math.
