Hey, likewise here!  I went to the local authorized Moron's-R-Us
Computerland and they gave me this same shit, and also said further that
they USED to give out free copies, but they got in trouble for doing
that, by apparently some dude at Apple!  How in the hell could they get
in trouble when the policy states that it's fine and dandy to give them
out free, unless of course, that's just the press policy and not the
official doctrine (the conspiracy theory, ya know, still a bit
implausible tho).  I eventually ended up getting a copy off of a friend.

Not only digusted, but pretty damn pissed off.  Just one more brick in
the wall, so to speak, shoving me away from Apple.
