PC shops

I just went to the local PC shop, to buy myself a gender changer. These things cost a lot more money than I expected; almost 4 euro. I wonder why that is; it's just a small device, they don't need that much money to create such a thing.

Then again, the bloody thing is patented. That's probably it.

When I was about to pay, the shop owner received a phone call, so I had to wait; I looked around a bit in the CD-ROMs they had. Lo and behold, they had one of those InfoMagick sixpack boxes; when I did my very first GNU/Linux installation, I used one of those. My first idea was "Do they still make those?", so I went to have a closer look. I honestly didn't think I'd ever see a new InfoMagick sixpack again.

Well, I didn't. Looking at the back of the box, I saw stuff such as "Debian GNU/Linux 0.93RC2", "RedHat 3.0.3", etcetera. I had actually planned to talk to the shop owner about GNU/Linux support, but that box made me change my mind.
