It's like Pay Per View. You can pay $3.99 and see a movie once, or you can pay $15.99 or something and see it as much as you want. Likewise, you can pay a buck to read a book once, or you can pay $7.50 to buy it and read it as much as you want.
I just feel sorry for slow readers:-)
if you're in business, you'll quickly learn the more wired you are the faster the boss-man can call your ass while you're on vacation, asleep, in the bar dodging work, etc.
Well, I might be an ignorant high school student, but wouldn't you be trying to avoid something like this? Doesn't the workday end when you leave work?
Thank you, Glonk. Unlike most of you, the latest rehash of a Mario game (oh, I'm sorry, Luigi game, excuse me!) somehow isn't enough to make me buy the Gamecube.
I agree with you, Skuld. I bought an N64 after having fun with the NES as a kid, but I never managed to get more than four games for it because they cost so much and there weren't any games that were so good that they were worth it. And the last two games I got at a discount because they were so old. After that, I'm never buying Nintendo again, and am looking forward to the X-Box.
It doesn't necessarily have to be wood.

I saw a computer in PC Magazine in 1997 that looked like finished wood but wasn't really wood, just like the interior of some cars. The disk drive, the CD drive, the monitor, the speakers, and of course the box itself were all nice wood finished looking. It was quite cool looking, but also quite expensive...somewhere in the $3000s.
You never know, some of these CDs you speak of may actually be worth much more than 17 dollars.
If that's true, how did places like Circuit City sell them for $9.99?
