      Always blew my mind at CompUSA that they had lil security boxes around the $30 games, but $200 (or however much it was) Red Hat was just chillin.

        Because they knew the type of customer who would want it wouldn’t walk out without paying for it.

        Specifically, Bill Gates. He’d buy them all so that the only OS left on the shelf was Windows.

      Well, if they are selling a copy, wouldn’t they steal it first, making your stealing just “taking it back”?
