I'm asking because Amazon.com (or was it buy.com, whoever) lists it at $99, and Celestaire at $25. And I'm wondering if the $25 price at Celestaire is only because of the upcoming 2000 edition. If that's the case, I'll be tempted as Patrick to buy the 1995 at a reasonable price. For what I'll do with it, I'd rather put down the difference towards other sailing stuff.
