I prefer getting something at the same moment my money goes away. I know, simultaneoty is an illusion and relativity basically allows for two events to occur in different order to two different observers without causing any contradictions (I knew you would point it out yourselves), but I just prefer having the thing in my hands so that the only thing that would cause the item to suddenly be lost after I no longer have my money is me.
I PREFER buying things that way, but I've bought things online before.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
