It's like the InfoMagic Linux Developers Resource CD-ROM I saw > for $16 that had three linux distributions on it. what a particular store will sell a standard product for is up to the store'w owners--free competitive market and all that. you really need to ask them. heck, the stroe i bought my bike from is running a sale. i am sure i can get one from them cheaper than the builder. the store has a different set of considerations than walnut creek. shelf space is very expensive, warehouse/backroom space less so.
