Subject: Re: A Philosophical Diversion From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 1998/10/11 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3117132074172099@naggum.no> * Charles Hixson <charleshixsn@earthlink.net> | (They [Franz Inc] don't seem to mention prices on their web site, curious | eh?). not really -- it has legal repercussions to quote prices in publicly available material, _and_ several companies that advertise on the Net and elsewhere would rather you call them based on product interest rather than price. e.g., I still (occasionally) order pizza at special offer prices because they forgot to include important legal phrases like "prices subject to change without notice" and "offer valid through ..." on flyers that they left _millions_ of at the University of Oslo campus in the fall of 1988. #:Erik
