Meaning, of course, return the copy of the software.  Copies are tangible
objects.  The copy is embodied in the computer.  If you don't like the
terms return the copy: i.e., the computer.

In my opinion the real problem with these contracts is that the terms are
not revealed at the point of sale, but the courts don't seem to agree.
