Well, the difference is a little more than $5.  I just bought the Infomagic
disc for $18.  Walnut Creek wants $35-$40?  While I have been impressed with
Walnut Creek and their efforts to advocate the use and distribution of 
free OS's, if they can't compete price-wise, they are going to be SOL with
a lot of people.
