Although this page is linked to the [[Thrift Store]] page, when I updated this one, the policy on the thrift store page didn't update.  Bug?  Network lag?  Jello?

You mean we aren't anti-windows snobs?  Just joking, but I suspect a number of us are to varying extents.  I do agree with what you are saying and like the point about not supporting OSs we don't have time for though, for another reason.  We don't want people to come in and say "You just said I couldn't install windows, you didn't say anything about ___."

While I'm thinking of it, I found another possible change to make.  I think I read on the store prices page that we aren't selling tech support tickets right now, we should probably reflect that here as well.

discounts

I think the current way of handling grant-related discounts works and is worth documenting. We may come up with another way, but sounds like we're sticking with this for a while at leastTonyc

general conduct

As far as general conduct goes, I think using the basic set for a starter, but we could add a couple reasonable ones. They could be policy even if they don't involve a sign. Specifically, I'm thinking of customers soliciting or transacting business in the store. I don't think this should be allowed, at least not anything beyond a simple handoff of a business card. But is someone is trying to hustle parts or systems, drum up tech support business, etc. we can tell them to take it outside.Tonyc
