8. Or Amazon and the rest of the online choices

Oct 2012

I've recently purchased a new laptop from Amazon for my wife and 5 Nexus 7's from Google play as Christmas gifts for the grandkids .

My wife can't do a tablet because of eyesight and arthritis problems and the grandkids keep grabbing mine when they come over. (It's amazing how fast they just pick it up and start using things)

Anyway, even as an old guy I never even considered going to a traditional store to shop. Not that I have anything against Best Buy and the rest, I just don't even think of going there anymore.
