No strong objection. But how far are we from having that updated CLL online, that it makes a lot of difference? That being said, if Arnt likes an immediate price change rather than waiting a hopefully short time, I'll make it unanimous. I note that a drop in price may increase sales rates. This is a good thing, but could cause a problem if demand exceeds Gary's capacity for an occasional several-boxfuls on his trips to MI. I don't want to be forced back into order-fulfillment if he runs out. lojbab
