Re: [Chicken-users] Fwd: Queinnec's Lisp in Small Pieces for CAN$3.95+shipping

[bryan rasmussen]

I believe the mathematical behavior of this is explained by an email I
just received from Amazon.ca, relevant text:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with our posted policies on pricing, we're unable to
offer items that have an incorrectly posted price.  Therefore, we have
cancelled this item from your order.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope it doesn't make me less of a man if I sit here and cry for a while.

Cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen
