Ramblings, opinions, and general meanderings from the Deep South

Thinking about making a purchase on the net? It's old hat to some folks and others still don't trust the cyberworld enough to bring forth their hard earned dollars and electronically transfer them. It's just like shopping in your local town. You know there are places you can trust and some that are shady. Let's see, most everyone has made purchases at the Wal-Mart or Sears or J.C. Penneys - you get the idea. Exercising your right as an American to shop is available on the net and relatively safe if you just use that melon.

Computer stuff? Circuit City, BestBuy, CompUSA all have dot com sites where you can purchase geek fodder. OfficeMax and Staples carry a great variety of computer related gear and sometimes have suprisingly good buys. For instance, I bought my digital camera at OfficeMax after shopping for two months (their price even beat Wally World!).

These sites have been around for a while and their prices stay within reasonable ranges. Just beware! Read the return policies and gather info about the site. Google search about them and then make your decision. Compare when you shop. All seem to have closeouts and specials. Check this area first for your desired item. Remember, review the return policy and warranties. They all have toll free phone numbers and orders can be placed that way. Just don't cyber shop until you drop...

Sorry about missing yesterday. My host even informed me they would be down for a bit and of course that's when I decided to post, LOL.
