Just today (10/15, for those of you far downstream or in the time warp) we got info on Opportunity Calling AND a statement showing accumulated credits from April-June. Now, for a real question--this looks like a pretty good deal; there's stuff that I do buy and the bucks come off in the right way (that is, off real prices instead of phony "list prices"). So what's the catch? (Tanstaafl's law says there must be one.) -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it's been.
