I agree. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I really like walking into a store, talking to someone in person, touching and feeling things and walking out with instant gratification instead of looking out the window every day for the UPS truck.
However, since I know Eric likes full disclosure, I do order things online as well.
My new (3-months old) desktop was ordered online.
My semi-new laptop (11-months old) was bought at CompUSA.
Also bought at CompUSA this year, wireless router, TV tuner and other assorted supplies. I mistakenly bought the wrong wireless receiver for my old machine which doesn't have a pci express slot, turned around and got the right one in a matter of minutes instead going thru having to ship something back and wait for a replacement.
As I said, I am bummed I can't just take a quick drive on a whim and come home with new computer toys in a matter of 30 mins once they close.
