Hell, they give their credit cards to their kids. But they won t buy something online. I plan on doing most of my holiday shopping online this year.
Internet shopping has a long way to go, though.

Some of the shopping takes so many different pages of information to go through before you actually buy that you forget what you bought in the first place. And then, of course, there are the crashes.

Or maybe you drive one of them thar imports Opera or NeoPlanet.
