>Your analogy is false.
In what way? There was a video arcade when I was growing up in Vegas
called Nickelodeon. The premise was that each game ran off of nickels -
BUT you had to pay a$5 entrance fee.
It went out of business before too long.

Of course. I like the Warehouse 23 artifact thingy bit, and it's a well
done site.

When I buy a book, online or not, I'm buying a one copy of the item. I'm
