the new version of abbyy finereader -- v11 -- is on sale... but today is the last day of the sale -- at least supposedly. the full version, new, is $119 on sale, reduced from $170. the update is $70 on sale, and it will be $100 afterwards... finereader express, for the mac, is $70 today, $100 later. i don't know if v11 is an improvement on earlier versions or not, so i can't give any advice on whether to _upgrade_. but this is a good price to buy a version if you have none... most _especially_ if you believe the lies that jim and lee have been telling you that finereader does good markup. it does _presentational_ markup, which is well and good -- and honestly, that's all that a regular person needs -- but not what you really want if you have to edit the .html. finereader _does_ give excellent o.c.r., though, the _best_! so again, if you don't have an o.c.r. program, grab it now!
