- I want the Oxford English Dictionary on compact disc! I know they are
- available. But they are very expensive. I heard a quote of US$750 from a friend
- but think in fact it costs more. I really can't afford it.
-
- I would like to pay around $300. I'm thinking along two lines:
-
- 1. Someone out there might know of a special promotion on these, or know, say,
- that they are available to students for personal use for less.
-
- 2. The articale I read about these indicated that these CD's are updated
- on some sort of basis. Perhaps your organization would prefer the latest copy
- at all times and I could buy the older.
-
- E-mail me with any info, thanks.
