And you are still wrong! I offered a clear concise reason for the pricing of e-Maps and e-Books. You dismissed this as wrong. No explanation, just your biased opinion. I gave a clear extended reason for the pricing of e-Maps and e-Books. Again you claim you are right and I am wrong. For someone who demands that others get "the semantics" right, you are very quick to get very sloppy with semantics yourself. I do note that your standard argument is based on your statement that you are right, and not on any alternative that would stand up to scrutiny by any impartial economist. No, Rowland, you do not know as much about marketting economics as I do, and you never will.

A colleague at work is almost definitely buying a bumper; he has currently dismissed them as too expensive - "I was willing to pay up to £15" - but I think he'll cave. He also bought some socks, but on eBay once the price had dropped. I get the impression the socks didn't sell very well. Except individually, on eBay. I'd have considered a bumper at up to a tenner, except that they look pretty kludgy (ie will make it fiddlier to drop the phone in a pocket or get it out quickly when a call comes in). At £25, no chance. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

And if it does fall out, it'll bounce. -- Chris |
