I agree this is the best way to buy electronics :) (except over here it's a different large electronics chain and smaller online retailers instead of Amazon)

I agree this is the best way to buy electronics :) (except over here it's a different large electronics chain and smaller online retailers instead of Amazon) For an extra slap in the face, a friend of mine even used one of their on-display Macs to place the order in that very store :) (while he did take some precautions against keyloggers, I'd be a bit more hesitant myself, to enter such data into a public computer). Their problem is that smart customers need to go online anyway, because the specs on the cards in the store are always incomplete (or even incorrect) so you can never quite compare two items. (and then it turns out that their cheapest model runs at nearly the same wattage as their expensive "energy saver" model ...) (that was for monitors btw)
