Update on Discounts

[Avery Todd]

List,

   It's a little slow today (end of spring break for me) so  I thought I'd
post a compilation of the CAUT discount question I asked.
   The NO's have it by 8 - 3! Interesting. A few good comments, though.
Thanks for responding. I didn't include the names of any who posted
privately.

P.S. Just for the record, I do for students (only in the music dept.) but
haven't been for faculty (except for one who has three grands, usually
tuned on the same call. Besides, most of them make a good bit more money
than I do. :-)
