Instantly a man shows up, clearly the manager from hisnametag and the rent-a-cop security guy. Both tell me the same thing, "NO CASH! You have to pay with a credit card!"" He has obviously never read the small print on the dollar bill: "Legal tender for all debts public and private, except when buying a laptop". The forefathers had some pretty good foresight, putting that on the dollar bill..This probably means that he can take a lawyer and sue CompUSA for a gazillion dollar because they shattered all his trust in US currency, causing him to have nightmares and requiring him to take some prescription-free medication.
They will probably bring up the fact that it was not a "debt" he was trying to pay, but rather debt he was trying to incur.. Nah, thats too goofy, even for me :-P -JP _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
