Same here in Sunnyvale. What the ad did not prepare me for was the
45 minute wait in line ! Also seemed that other items were priced
slightly higher than ussual, nor did I care for the salemen canvassing
the folks in line; "Did you notice this book on 5.0 sir ? It's only
$14.95 and has over $200 in cupons in it.", "Do you have enough diskettes
for backing up your HD ? ", "You know, we also have the latest version
of ..... "
Still, it was all (hopefully) worth it. A new OS for the price of
an old game.
