Don't be quick to curse: you may have made the right assumption before.
It's a Lego. If they need to order components (even from their own
warehouse) and assemble the computer for every customer to test that's a
significant effort for a very uncertain sale (from their prospective) to
9presumably) a walk-in customer with no relationship. The live CD trick is
reasonable if there is a brand - or otherwise standard - computer on the
shelf. Laptops are usually like that...
