I decided to buy my most recent computer on the internet after getting them in person at varying electronics stores over the past 20 years.
It became a force of habit more than anything else.
And after the first few times were a success, I stuck with buying my PCs this way. I could talk with an employee who could provide myself and others technical advice on the merits of one model versus another. Sporadically I’d take luck of store sales plus promotions, whereas other times I paid the full price for the PC. As more stores moved to the internet in the 2000s, I wondered if I should try getting a new computer on the web for a change. I was amazed to see some of the same PCs I saw in the physical stores for up to 40% less on a few online electronics dealers. There seem to be more sales plus promotions available as well. Online shopping has evolved to the point where you can get marijuana growing kits that include everything needed to bring a seed to harvest. They include lights, irrigation systems, fans for ventilation, plus growth mediums. Years ago you could find these grow kits for cannabis made out of computer PC enclosures for privacy plus discreteness. Now that cannabis is legal in multiple states, companies are making honest grow boxes plus grow kits that both conceal the odor of the plant plus the glow of the lights. These grow cabinets are a unbelievable solution if you don’t want neighbors in an condo building odoring your personal crop. All of these supplies plus unit can be found easily on the internet these days. It’s amazing how far we’ve come with online shopping in the last 20 years.
