I was at the Chapters on Highway 7 between Woodbine and Warden, and
managed to find Linux Format (and a few others) in the "Investing"
section.  I thought that was fitting, until I found some Windows mags
right beside the Linux ones.  It looked like there wasn't a computer
section; just a games section, and then other stuff lumped together
with poor taste.  ;)

There was also discussion on the list about computer book stores.  I
found one that carries older titles along Yonge, directly across from
Sam the Record Man (a few storefronts South of Elm).  The storefront
is pretty small, but the store goes waaaaaaaay into the back, and has
a whole room full of older titles, along with older software.  I
grabbed a copy of Prince of Persia 2, but they also had copies of
Mandrake 8.2 for sale, and a book on writing software with Gnome and
GTK+ (albeit from 2000).  Any book w/out an extra sale sticker goes
for 1/2 of the publisher's recommended rate (I also snagged one book
for $10 that had no sale sticker and was listed for $28USD; no clue on
that one, but no complaints either!).
