Right now shopping via the 'net is alot like not being able to find a parking spot at the local mall, then once you get inside there aren't any signage on the stores. And even if you find the right shop they have just run out of stock of the merchandise. In other words, it isn't a cakewalk. The twist is that FedEx will supply the trucks and planes and computers to fulfill and ship the stuff ordered. In the meantime, I'll be at the mall.
