We have no control over what stores charge. It's the chicken and egg
situation. If they had higher volume, they'd drop the price. If they
dropped the price, they'd have higher volume. They'd probably also sell
more if they didn't hide it so well, but only customer pressure can
convince them of this.

This is not typical, or even common, but it can happen. If anything goes
wrong with an order, we're here to fix it. Don't be shy. Call, or send
email to:
kermit-orders@columbia.edu

And we're still working on it. At this point it is primarily a matter
of creating literally thousands of GUI dialogs to do what the text-mode
