If your college bookstore can't get it, Diskovery <http://www.diskovery.com>
carries Adobe Acrobat Pro 3.0 for $49.00. Diskovery only sells to
qualified academic institutions, faculty, or students. Photo ID
is required. I hesitate to mention a retail business by name (there
are probably others who sell academic versions) but there is no
sense in paying full retail.
