[GRASSLIST:3430] Just another stupid question from a paranoid education fun!

[ivan]

I asked this question before and would like to say thank to those who
raplied.

I am interested in GRASS as both teaching and research tool primarily
because of it non-commercial and generic nature. ESRI provides excellent
set of tools, but a single copy - ready to use workstation with ArcGIS
license is priced at around 12.000$ US.  The question is how many
university graduate students can buy it to start doing some simple
consultancy or independent research work. Not too many I guess.

Once again can you see GRASS as an educational tool for students in 
Earth Science (Geology; Geophysics, Fluvial Geomorphology, Soil Science; 
Geography); Please send your opinion or www references if you aware  of 
any examples.

Thank you in advance.
