Apple and CompUSA Working on 'Software on Demand'

pimpbott writes "Apple is working with SoftwareToGo to install kiosks in CompUSA stores to deliver software on demand. Imagine walking into your local CompUSA and ordering some obscure title that nobody would ordinarily stock, paying for it, and walking out with a custom-burned CD-ROM. This not only gets more titles published and available to the public at large by reducing the need for expensive shelf space and other publishing costs, but it keeps embarassingly large, mostly empty software boxes from ending up in the landfill."

Besides being deeply bigoted and offensive it actually is true that the Vatican likes macs because they want their priests to use their computers to get work done, not fiddle with the OS.
