Do the other universities charge such a fee? Supposedly it supports a 12' x 12' "computer store" in the Student Union. I'd rather they'd run the whole thing mail order and let me keep my $50. It is also interesting to see that Tulane charges New Orleans sales tax, while U of I charges California sales tax (their literature claims that Apple charges the sales tax). Perhaps the sales tax algorithm is: Max( Cal. sales tax, local sales tax ) Ken Ken Kubiak Computer Systems Group University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign kubiak@csg.uiuc.edu
