However, I am not willing to make a minimum $1250
May I suggest the book by my colleagues Wil Gorr and Kristen Kurland here at
Carnegie Mellon. It does make ArcView seem doable. Certainly our students
here in public policy find it accessible. See

Thanks for the feedback, so far.
Yes, we use ArcView to a limited degree on projects and find the python and COM

an explosion now of free GIS authoring tools and free mechanisms of GIS / 3D
distribution that it's

The cost of Idrisi for academics is $675 and a tenth of that for students.
