I don't think FreeBSD has ever been available from the CompUSA
website, but it was on the shelves of the last CompUSA store I
visited.  I'll send some email to make sure that is still the case.

Well, we'd rather have people buy from a supporting vendor so more of
the money goes back to the project than have to lose 15% or more to
Amazon.com.  You can buy many FreeBSD books from amazon.com though.
