WRONG. Better analogy: the CD player isn't even for sale yet, but you
already sent in the money for yours. It hasn't been delivered yet, but
you find an exact clone of one - in fact, the total number of CD players
in the world (of that type) has just increased by one. You use your
clone of the CD player until your own paid-for CD player arrives, then
you start using it and get rid of the clone.

Oh, love those caps for emphasis. Yep, if you CAPITALIZE every OTHER
word YOU get MORE people TO believe WHAT you WRITE.
