But $800 for Office 2007 seems reasonable, right? People wouldn't pirate or rip off these products if the companies weren't beating consumers over the head. $1500 for acrylic with a pump or two? R&D - HA! Testing skimmers might be the cheapest R&D on Earth. They either work well, work OK, or not at all.
That being said, you DO have the option to buy something else.
