The University of Southern California has a rather interesting
pricing policy.  There are two terms - cash, and everything else.
If you go by cash, then you get the stated price.   However, if
you opt to pay by credit card, or charge it on a university 
account, you get an extra 1.75% added on.  (Isn't that the 
rate cc companies charge?)  

Yes, and our bookstore conducts all it's computer business in
a space not unlike that of an office cubicle.  Even here, the expression
"three's a crowd" holds very true.

(To their credit, they are supposedly going to have half a floor
to strut their stuff when the new bookstore opens, but that isn't
for awhile, and I won't believe it until I see it)
