$100 was an arbitrary figure
to be honest, (and seeing as it's my company it's my money i'd be
spending!)
i would fork over
$1000 in a second, for a halfway decent fluid sim in xsi (site license

as long as it was documented well enough for us to muddle through
i mean, one job where the tool worked would have paid for it....
