>No, but stores are responsible for who they sell to. Right or wrong,
that's the approach taken with firearms, tobacco, and alcohol. Stores
may not sell such to end-users that the law defines as (not of the age
of majority) unable to make an educated choice. It's a shame software
isn't sold the same way. :-)

Ok, so you say you don't want to take people's computers away.  Are you
now saying you have to be licensed to buy a computer?  Licensed in the
sense you have to pass a test knowing how to properly secure an
operating system?  Sound's pretty stupid and draconian to me.
