walk up to buy software at CompUSA (Score 2, Insightful)

I used to walk around CompUSA, et. al., to find what software is available for my Mac. What I really wanted, & never found, were Demos of software to get a real look & feel before buying a certain application. I would like them right there in the store to peruse. (Even the printed box wasn't enough info.) re: downloading. I would rather recieve an actual CD with demoed software than hassle with downloading & copying onto a disk for backup. Regarding documentation, I have mourned for years the reduction of paper manuals. I need to troubleshoot from a *book while I'm having trouble with the Mac machine or screen itself. They can't fool me. Now I have to do more of the work myself (e.g. print out a manual). It costs me more for paper & ink than their mass production, and costs me more in time, too. I'm trying to be patient with the industry. Go, Jef Raskin!
