Couldn't find info on the SPSS educational deal but I did find that they
have integrated MapX into their 10.0 release. Looks like its a useable
small system.
I wonder if the marketing folks at Troy read this list? My bet is they do
but they seldom ever add any insight to issues like this Andy's
technical contributions aside.
Bill, is there any way we could get a formal response on educational
distribution rules and etiquette? If MapInfo will not participate in GIS
Day coming in November possible they might issue a PR piece on how schools
could get into GIS via MapInfo.

Subject: RE: MI Educational use of MapInfo Products
from Neil Havermale:
Then you'll need a letter from the individual or department on letterhead
asking for the Educational Discount with a brief disclosure of how its going
to be used. Along side this cover letter must be a Department PO for the
requested order. Data is not discounted. Updates? The policy has been no
educational discount on "updates" of any sort. For the educational MapInfo
user and their 20 percent of list schedule, it has always been cheaper for
the school or researcher to just buy a new copy. And they have!
...
On our side of the border, the academic distribution was handled until
recently (I have not been active this past year on the university front) by
SPSS. It was exclusively a yearly site licence based on 15 seat blocks. It
included maintenance as long as you kept your subscription alive. I am
wandering how it is now and how effective is the link MI-SPSS. May be MI
relies too much on SPSS for promotion in academia?
