    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.
