SCO has ceased it's Linux sales.  If you buy that copy of OpenLinux, do they 
still have to support you?  Does the fact that they didn't effectively 
withdraw the product from the shelves affect the lawsuit?  Or is the product 
now considered MicroCenter's responsibility?  Given the lawsuit, is 
MicroCenter have any liability if SCO is right?  Maybe MicroCenter will 
reduce the price if you tell them there's no support and they're selling an 
IP lawsuit.

There's a local computer shop here that's had Corel Linux, 2nd Edition (one 
standard, one deluxe), on their shelves since I moved here over a year 
ago.........at the original price.  I tried to clue the management in on the 
product's status; but the manager I spoke to has never heard the term "sunk 
cost".
