Close enough to think of it that way, yes. By a magnitude of like 1 million to one or something, I would guess.Pincus wrote:

As much as I hate to say it - I buy all my computer games from Best Buy. While they do have some rather interesting business practices (and their Geek Squad sucks), they have a nice big selection of games.
Unfortantaly, since I buy my games, I give away all my rights to produce backup copy of the game incase 1 of the the 4 CD-ROMs gets damaged.
I'm seriously thinking of switching over to an X-Box or some other console verry soon - all this copy protection crap, CD keys getting longer and longer each day - having to reherse 100 alphanumeric characters to read to Microsoft over the phone to re-install Windows XP for the Xth time, and all this Digital Restrictions Management, all this "You can't backup a CD that you bought" shit...
With an X-Box, you never have to enter a product keycode. Never have to worry bout paying $400 for a good video card, and don't have to worry about updates.
