Me either.

But I dread the day when there are no stores to physically hold products.

I support storefronts whenever they offer value close to online.

I bought my hp pavillion CORE I5 there a few years ago, and I don't think the processor speed has been obselesced. That's something I live by. I don't think there's much more room, physically, for it to increase.

I run UNIX applications on cygwin, using various applications like "bc" ( extended presicion calculator ) and C language compilations which are just crazy-fast. People just don't know what they have these days.

We get Gregg ad inserts in our newspaper. I don’t know where the store is and curiously, the multipage ad insert doesn’t say

Over priced items, more so than Best Buy, very limited selections. That will stop attracting customers who have other choices of where to shop. Best Buy even honors Amazon prices if the product is sold only by Amazon, not third party. Got hubby’s sound bar system 2 years ago that way, saved about $75. He was happy to walk out with it for the lesser price. As seniors money does matter.

When I shop Amazon I use gift cards, not my Discover, I buy them at Kroger’s on Discover 1% back, for double or 4 times the gas points. Which is in effect for about 2 weeks now. That $250 Lowe’s gift card equal $1 per gal off gas, per 35 gal tank fill. Any left over we don’t use our kids get, they appreciate even a .50 cent off on a gal for a tank fill.

Mom, Father day they will run the same thing. Christmas that is all I buy 10 mins and my Christmas shopping is done with out setting foot in a mall they can do their own shopping and choosing. 6 Grands, 7th on the way, 6th G Grand on the way. Which will only continue to grow, as the 20’ish adult grands keep surprising us with more.

Free shipping on any purchase over $50 at Amazon has put the kibosh on a lot of retailers...nowadays these retail outlets only serve as a physical display and then the purchaser orders it online for a cheaper price.
