I am not familiar with current pricing, but if you need to scrape together funds, I would guess that buying GIS software would be out of the question. Nowadays, most specialized PC software is more expensive than the minimal amount of hardware it needs to run.

You're correct about the software- it's brutally priced. But I have access to University copies that, though underpowered, can work for what I'm trying to do right now. I'm extremely lucky though.

Aha, now your statement makes sense to me. I did not think of that possibility.
