Monitor sold seperately

If it's sold seperately, then it shouldn't be in the picture in the advert

There should be a law about this

There was probably some really tiny writing somewhere, referenced with an asterisk, telling you.

If not, the relevant law is something to do with trade descriptions.

Indeed,

I was thinking of buying this:

but I'd need to spend an extra $10 on the mouse!

Welcome to these Hallowed Halls Onan. Best bit is not to buy a monitor anyway, as the Microsoft error screens will get on your wick after the shortest of times. Also, you can save wads of money in not buying applications or Anti Virus software.

Yup, I think that sellers who put in tiny print, that the monitor is not included are being a bit sharp. If it looks suspiciously cheap, there is almost always a reason.

PS Still trying - and failing- to think of a worthwhile caption for this round of the Cap Comp on the Mil Forum. Good picture! :-)
