I was quoted 299 ukp (inc. VAT) for the Trust Scanner by Asis on the 'phone today, a fairly dramatic increase from 199 ukp over the course of a weekend.... This may well have been a genuine mistake, but a responsible company should really proof read their adverts before posting them. ---------------------------------------------- Jeremy Patrick, Keele, Staffordshire, England. jpatrick@keele.demon.co.uk
