Not being a current VMS customer, no.  But I would bet it is more than
any Hobbyist would be willing to pay.  Which, of course, does not mean
they should give it away!

I want a Porsche 911.  I will only drive it for fun, never to work.
But Dr. Ferdinand just doesn't seem to grasp that he should just give
me one.  :-)
