I personaly like to browse in a bookstore for books, C.Ds ect...AND have a double latte as I peruse my purchases. Therefore I would seldom buy a book online (well...maby, if I could rig an espresso machine to my CPU) UNLESS I were looking for some obscure books that were EASIER to purchase online. Online retailing has its place but only if it is easier than standard retail and secure(encripted).

Online piracy of copywritten material will become an even greater issue in the future. Has anyone seen songs being posted on usenet? Hi LLamaphlegm, Agree with the above. I just bought/installed a CD-read/write. I am capable of copying......... It will be very difficult to control the inevitable.
