I guess that it is all relative and subjective. I wasn't putting down 
OmniPage X.  I have it and I love it.  But $130, to me, is a lot of 
money. 

I can see spending hundreds of dollars on software that is produced in 
low volume, such as vertical market software, and sophisticated programs 
such as music composition software.  But $130 for even the best OCR 
program seems steep to me.
