Comment Re:Mathematica - ugh (Score 2) 237
Oh come on... I am a rich student. I bought Mathematica for Students 4.0.1 about 4 months ago with a couple of add-on packages (mostly from MEI).
I can't believe how good the after sale service that Wolfram gives is ! There is even one of the developper of Mathematica on comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica that answers questions regarding Mathematica and Linux.
I had to request a new password about 3 or 4 times and everytime I got it in less than 12 hours.
I originally bought the software for Windows and then decided it would be better to transfer it to Linux. I completed the System Transfer Form and had the needed password in less than 24h.
When you will be over with school you will have the possibility to buy the Professionnal version for something like 300$ instead of 1250$ because you bought the student version.
If there is one thing I have to complain about is the fact that Wolfram doesn't advertise very strongly the fact that Mathematica, and mostly the add-ons, are compatible with Linux. I originally bought the Windows version because I thought they could only work under Windows. But everything works under Linux.
Mathematica is great !
