Maybe you should start. Yes, I know the satisfaction of actually having the thing you want IN YOUR HANDS right then is a huge bonus. I mean, who wants to ditch some cash and have nothing to show for it until a few weeks later? Not I, but when you have to, you have to, and it'll be worth it when it arrives. Actually, depending on the shipping, it might actually only take one week. I've bought a couple things online before, and generally I don't enjoy the prospect of having to wait for anything I buy, but sometimes it's just a must.
"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)
