Course once you add in products like Resourcerer, Inside Mac (all volumes), several programming books, and the rest of it, FB looks pretty reasonable. In some cases, you get what you pay for. MacStandardBasic is good for a limited number of tasks, but if you want to do anything other than amuse yourself, I'd save for FB.
