As near as I can tell, Mandrake left Walmart's shelves because of some reorganization at Pearson, who published their U.S. boxed sets. Through version 8.1, they were sold by Macmillan Software, while 8.2 is sold by Pearson Education. Locally, 8.1 was about $30.00 at Best Buy and MicroCenter, and about $25.00 at Walmart. Now 8.2 is about $40.00, and I haven't seen it at Best Buy or Walmart. And I don't find the www.macmillansoftware.com web site any more.
