hardware? no...

actually, when you buy a computer, the hardware is yours. read the eula, its the software that is not yours. you are leasing it so to speak. actually licensing the use of the software. but it is kind of like a car dealership coming to your house while you are sleeping, getting into your car and making some changes to the car, then leaving.

hey, i work in computer tech support, we have all kinds of car analogies.
