READ THIS MAGAZINE AND SAVE $200

I have subscribed to BUSINESS WEEK for more than 20 years and have found it informative and useful. Most recently, your magazine saved me $200.

I bought a Compaq computer for my daughter going off to college. Three weeks later, I read "Is Compaq starting a PC price war?" (In Business This Week, Aug. 28), a one-paragraph blurb speculating on whether Compaq Computer Corp. was starting a price war and saying they had reduced prices.

Armed with that information, I went back to the store to find the price on our model reduced by $200. This store's policy is for a 30-day price guarantee--and I got a $200 refund.
