I'd like to have the option of having Flash on my iPod.

And I would like to have a free iPad, flash or not.

Man, I hear that. Gonna be a while before I can afford one. The good news is, it'll be a second-gen device, so it'll be better.

You are kidding right? Every thing I have ever bought at Costco, is in their computer, you can bet on it.

Costco requires a membership. Everything you buy is tied to your membership card. Apple retail stores, let alone Best Buy, do not have memberships. They can track purchases from a credit card, which is why in the original post they apparently required one for identification; but there is no paper trail for cash purchases.

I didn't suggest there was, the issue was whether they could track the sales. In the case of the iPad and or iPhone they usually have to be registered with iTunes to work easily, and guess what that means?

I think I’m going to start a direct-to-customer internet-only marketing company for computers, call it Nuts, Inc. I’d clean up. :’)
