Close, Dave.  The announced list price is $4850, with a prepublication
special of $4250 if ordered through December 31, 2000, which drops to $3950
if you pay by then.  The online prices announced for libraries begin at
$1200 a year for a single user, discounted for multiple year subscriptions.
Not sure if this varies for individuals.
