April 14th 2004
As of today, we have altered our software prices. A cost-of-living scale increase has been applied to most of our regular packages, e-books, software bundles, and multi-user licences. In contrast, we have reduced the prices of Fuzzy Grouping and Simply Probits, to fit them in to a simplified pricing structure. This is the first time we have increased our prices in over 5 years - we feel sure our customers will understand.
