That'll be $300, please.

I just received a mailing from Apple, announcing a helpful new program;
anyone can buy access to DTS for a mere $6000/year, (or $1800 for 6
questions).  Now, I'm not posting this because I think those are terribly
outrageous prices, but to point out to everyone here what an incredible
deal usenet is, where your questions are answered for free.

If I had $6000/year and no net access, my check would go to uunet, not Apple.
(A fact which I doubt Apple would mind; I expect that they're not out to make
money on the support program, just not to lose any.)
