Computer Shows (in most cases/places) are run by the evil little carnies at Market Pro in which cheap-skate-geeks go in and shop for computers with pirated software, remarked CPUs, and other stupid things that smell bad and are dirt cheap. The Market Pro crew help rake in big bucks from both vendors and consumers without caring about vendor location or profitability nor caring about whether consumers are getting ripped off buying lame integraded computers with illegally installed software, hard drives from hijacked armoured trucks and overclocked CPU. Hence, legitamate vendors with real computers, legit software and good open source software can not be competitive with people selling $300 computers with Windows and Office installed. Go to a computer show, get ripped off and default your "computer headquarters" to be you local, friendly computer store.
