Inexpensive, perhaps. But the paucity of the documentation (not the
reference doc, but introductory doc) makes you lean toward more than the
basic - while the program is $99, if you buy the "package" with the book and
access to additional tutorials (the content of which is nowhere to be
found), then pony up to pay for a year's upgrades, it's more than twice
that. I'm thinking twice because of the difference between the "basic"
program and what I'd need to be able to really use it.
