Linderman Department of Foreign Affairs allegra!jpl A number of years ago I ordered the original BLTJ issue on UNIX. As I remember the cost was relatively nominal ($5 or something like that). Given this past experience I assumed that Mr. Linderman was correct in stating that "a single issue shouldn't cost too much. Well I called the number listed in the previous posting which gave the BLTJ table of contents. To my shocked amazement and surprise I was told that the new issue of the BLTJ on UNIX was $27. I gave the "select number" in an attempt to make sure that we were talking about the same thing. It seems that we were. I asked if that price was not perhaps for a year's subscription. I was told that "no, it is the single issue price". Well at least they take major credit cards. Deregulation sure is saving the consumers a lot of money (I better not proceed in this vein or I will have to post this to net.flame).
