Seeing as how the first thing I do with a new computer is to use Decrapify my computer Pc Decrapifier removing all links to try Office and any other MS trial or programs I don't want and the installing Open Office, which admittedly probably isn't as powerful as MS Office, but gets the job done for me.
Veyron, Civic, E class Merc, Meh! These are all poor analogies. All I want in a program is if it does the job that I want and costs very little or nothing.
The Superbike is listed in Wiki as the "most powerful and most expensive", but you don't have to spend a gajillion dollars to get a bike with much more power http://www.bosshoss.com/view_bike.asp?x=BHC3ZZ4SS
The only problem I have there is wealth disparity is becoming so high that.5% of the population is starting to get *everything* (most of the wealth, most of the income, most of the best books- which sit unused on a shelf looking valuable), most of the best property (which sits unused 300 days a year).
Comes the revolution, they'll be the first up against the wall and shot.
Puhleeeeeze!

Banning shoppers seems like a thoughtless response from these store owners. What difference does it make to a store owner if the buyer is going to resell the item they just bought? If you don't like it, raise your price. Otherwise, either sell it to anyone or take it off the shelf. Are we soon going to have to endure interviews about what we plan to do with the item before we're allowed to buy it?
I've been doing this for some time (sans bar code scanner) just buying what I think will sell, and I make some money to supplement my SS money each month. I don't make a pile of money, but it's not inconsiderable either. I've been in retail most of my life and buying at the lowest price for resale at a higher price is the law of retail.
Astronomy began as Astrology, Chemistry and Physics as Alchemy. The only difference was that the forebears of modern science was looked at as dabbling in the black arts.
How about books in general? I guess Gutenberg heard the same BS when he invented moveable type and made them more available to the poor, unwashed, uneducated masses
I live in NY City and regularly drive from the Eastern end of Long Island to the city limits at night. If it's not the end of the month when ticket quotas need filling, and my Valentine Radar Detector plugged in, I regularly drive at speeds in excess of 80 mph

2. Stone Age man had flint knives, hammers and axes.
Here's what I'm thinking: Og, looking at some dirt thinks "what if I burn that in the fire?> What if I put what's left in some juice from that plant?
Meanwhile Ug sneaks up behind him and brains him with an axe, thinking: "kill, fire, food, sex, sleep"

Sometimes with a big company behind you "Craptastic" is good enough.
A lot of "professionally published" ebooks DO look like crap, but the only problem I have is that it seems that nobody's ever heard of spell check.
I don't think so. Open Office works pretty well for me.
