More Judge Easterbrook goodness
From Hill v. Gateway 2000, Inc.
United States court of appeals, 7th circuit, 1997
Writing about the legality of a 30 day return period on new purchases: "Customers as a group are better off when vendors skip costly and ineffectual steps such as telephone recitation, and use instead a simple approve-or-return device. Competent adults are bound by such documents, read or unread. For what little it is worth, we add that the box from Gateway was crammed with software. The computer came with an operating system, without which it was useful only as a boat anchor."
