If the result is that a charge I mailed off to New Jersey shows
up as an inexplicable "Maidenhead, Berkshire, England" on my VISA
bill, which then results in an Official International Query and
the resulting confusion I described, I think that's enough reason.
If they'd at least put "BYTE" rather than "MCGRAW HILL" as the
billing company name for the English charge, they would have avoided
the problem.

I'll stick with my perennial free subscription to Canadian Datasystems :-)
