Not sure about the person who wrote that...David Lawsky...hum. <gg> Few companies post wholesale prices on the web, mainly due to the fact the prices are somewhat flexible because of the effects of volume, payment method and other items. Not for a moment would I believe Compaq pays the same price as Dell , or that Gateway pays the same as IBM. If everyone paid the same price....WHY would we have golf courses???MSFT does have suggested retail prices printed on most every product I've seen of their's, but, I've never paid that price. This issue just goes to prove you have to be on the government payroll, because you don't have an understanding of these things. You probably think prices on new automobile windows are really what the dealer sells the car for, or that all Safeway stores have the same price for Pork Butt. Not sure of your point today, but it sure Flopped. <gg>

Oh yeah, those functions that are disabled are providing real value all right. I agree...they do add value even if you don't use Internet explorer as Medved demonstrated earlier... Even if you don't use IE as your browser, his Quote tracker uses it.. There are several programs out there that use IE files...that they apparantly can't get with Netscape...
