But like Pete said, at this point I'm repeating myself, and since Bernie has been absent from the conversation, it has become mostly speculative, so I too, am done, for now. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 25, 2017 at 7:00 PM, Pete Hartman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pete.hartman@gmail.com" target="_blank">pete.hartman@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Exactly my point, for those suggesting <span class="m_2248974603524525489money">$50</span><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Pete</div></font></span></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jun 25, 2017 7:58 PM, "Eric Brombaugh" <<a href="mailto:ebrombaugh1@cox.net" target="_blank">ebrombaugh1@cox.net</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>

HAH!<br>
<br>
Have you *seen* the cost of a typical college textbook lately? I was in my alma mater's bookstore a while back and a "typical" EE text on a single subject costs about $200-$300 now. Compared to that EN is sweet sweet bargain.<br>
