MapInfo Professional 5.5 - 9 copies for $85 on eBay used for PC
Design
G'day, from Darren Doherty Keyline Design
Whilst hunting around for some stuff on Ebay I found that a vendor has
available 9 copies of MapInfo Professional 5.5 (in original boxes with
manual and tutorial) for $85 each. I have since talked with the vendor
about a bulk purchase and he has agreed to $65 each. This software is the
one that I have used since 1997 for the development of our designs and
cannot recommend it high enough. To buy the latest version costs around
USD$1300 so this represents quite a saving and means not having to go to
Ho Chi Minh City and get a copy from there for $2 that opens you up.
Whilst this version is a bit older the functionality, for the purposes
that I put to use, is quite current as the main aspects of the software
that have changed relate more to the GIS end of the product not the
cartographical end.
Mac users will be limited to those that are able to run Windows on their
machines, such as enabled by the latest OS for Mac (Leopard) and its
preloaded software Bootcamp.
For those of you who are interested I have established a manual for using
MapInfo for Permaculture Design on my website - the link being:

I drafted this manual as a consultancy for a student and have now
published it online for open access.
Anyways this allows people to get legitimate ownership of some extremely
useful software and raise the quality of their output.
