Wrongo.  Colorado does have a use tax law.  If you go to California to buy
a terminal, Colorado state law requires you to pay state sales tax.  To do
otherwise is to violate the law.  (So I'm sure you're going to rush right
down and pay it, right? :-))

However, what I can't figure out is why some out-of-state distributors feel
compelled to collect the tax.  What's the deal?  Do they think that the State
Troopers are going to roll out the tanks and blow away their file cabinets?

What *is* going on here, anyway?  When the McGraw Hill book club bills me
for Colorado State Tax, how am I supposed to be sure that they're really giving
it to *my* state like they say they are, anyway?
