- You think you have it bad. Have a look at the cover price for any text book
- and then DOUBLE it. That is about what we have to pay in Australia; and we
- don't get paid any more than you guys do.

- I am also pissed off at the prices charged, and often wish we had the
- "cheap" prices that you have in the states.
