  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:

<http://picasaweb.google.com/permaculture.biz/MapInfoManual>http://picasaweb.google.com/permaculture.biz/MapInfoManual

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.
