        Seems to me like maybe it is a good idea for publishers to put
there disks in a sealed paper envelope (as Aegis does) to stop stores
from pirateing their software.

        When I buy something that is shrink wrapped I expect the manules
to be brand spanking new.  The idea that someone else may have photocopied
it already infuriates me.  Maybe those manules that I thought the publisher
had done a sloppy job on were messed up by the retailer or a dishonest
customer?

                                                        -Wade.
