They've taken all the prices off the items, but there's a new wrinkle: the cash register won't show the customer the price as it's being rung up. The only readout is the one facing the clerk. This of course makes it just a little harder to keep the computer honest. Cheers -- Walt Haas ...{harpo | decvax}!utah-cs!haas
