Hi Blair,
* In a message to Steve Brack on 10-24-97, BLAIR THOMPSON said the following:
BT> ->       And it's served you well, I imagine.  OTOH, our radios are all

                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
BT> So let me get this straight: the cost of the warranty is part of the cost 
BT> the item, but it costs (as little as) $19.95. If it's part of the cost of 
BT> item, then why doesn't it cost zero? Wow, am I confused. As always, I 
on'
BT> speak for anybody rational. Blair
        The customer has a choice of the factory warranty, whose cost
        is entirely contained within the object's price, or the
        60-month warranty whose additional cost is as low as $19.95
        and is seperately listed on the receipt.  The customer has a
        choice of which warranty to purchase, but always pays
        something for the warranty.  It's never really free.
        As always, I speak only for myself.
