I will continue to make computer equip/software purchases using the web, but I found the
gift-buying on the i-net to be dry and boring experiences, even though it was kind of
"neat" at the time. I am ready to go back to all traditional shopping this Christmas. But,
the masses may be just discovering buying gifts on the i-net, so sales may well surge for
Christmas of '98. In Christmas of '99, who knows? Consumers are a fickle lot, and may
decide that 'net shopping for gifts is as exciting as watching paint dry, compared to
shopping in the real world.


Dwight,

Regardless of the end result after many years, there will be more retail buying during the Christmas season in general. Kind of a given for a long time now.
