For some things (like Dell PowerEdge servers to use the topic
du jour), you don't even get prices on the items until you enter
the cart. True, price is dependent on configuration which is
a cart capability, and it's different for packaged goods companies,
but I abandoned about 1/2 a dozen carts today responding to
Ron's 'buying a server' question.

Cheers
