Yup, I think so, Spooner


It's gittin' so we can't have any FUN anymore, what with all the Poster Police (the PP's) tryin' to keep it so dang SERIOUS and on topic.

Speaking of which (being on topic that is, and in order to keep THIS post from running afoul of the PeePees), I can think of a half-dozen times when I have gotten on the Dell site, spec'd out a box, hit the "Update price" button, and gotten a message similar to "this site has been updated," only to find out that $499 box is NOW $699 ... outfitted EXACTLY the same way when the thing popped up with the original "default" $499 configuration!
