The sad thing (for holders of CPU) is that they just recently remodeled a lot of their stores to be that way -- after the Computer City merger. Only very rarely have I been tempted by the software with which they fill much of their stores -- of course, I'm not into games much.

BTW, CompUSA is among my least favorite sources of PC stuff. About the only time I go in any more is when they have a sale on CD-R media. IMHO Office Depot (whose stock I bought today) and Best Buy (whose stock I shouldn't have sold a couple of years ago) blow them away, as do many mailorder/ecommerce houses (personally, I like www.jandr.com).

By far the best way to deal with software maintenance is to avoid it completely; it's like a fungus that eats away at productivity. Load up a bunch of software on a PC. Pretty soon you need software to deal with the damage the first software did (e.g. Norton Utilities). The Sun low-maintenance model is highly preferable.

JMHO, of course.
