I ordered MPW 3.0 from APDA about a month ago ... the catalog clearly states, as Joel does above, that SADE and its supporting software (MF 6.1b7) was included in the base package. No one told me differently when I placed the order by telephone. And yet, when the goods arrived, both were absent (despite MPW's documentation claiming yet again that they were there), and a call to APDA revealed an "oh, no of course not, no no the catalog and documentation's wrong. Buying SADE will cost you again as much as MPW did in the first place." I can understand the need to disclaim that "prices and availability subject to change without notice," but willfully false advertising seems another matter altogether... -- _ _|\____ Nick Jackiw | Visual Geometry Project | Math Department / /_/ O> \ ------------+-------------------------+ Swarthmore College | O> | 215-328-8225| jackiw@cs.swarthmore.edu| Swarthmore PA 19081 \_Guernica_/ ------------+-------------------------+ USA
