[Vision2020] rebate checks

[Tom Hansen]

I have never purchased any software from the UI Bookstore.  Their prices 
are too high, higher than Cactus Computer (where I purchased my software 
when I was a student) and Staples (where I currently purchase most of my 
software) or online.

During the entire 16 years that I have been living here in Vandalville (4 
years as a UI student), the only purchases I have made out of the UI 
bookstore are textbooks for classes.

Textbooks.  Now, there is a REAL racket.  If the publisher does as much as 
change the design cover, it becomes a new edition and previous editions 
are considered obsolete and inappropriate for class studies.  Jeesh!
