I like going shopping. I like going window shopping. I like taking my
four year old son, Spane, window shopping as well.

I like online shopping. I like online because I don't hear "I want... I
want... I want... I want...". I also don't hear musak, chattering in
Armenian (I live in Glendale), walkie talkies, boom boxes, etc.

Frequently, I will go in the store, kick the tires, then go home and
purchase the item online, where I can do it quickly without the dreaded
"I want...".

The whole point of online shopping is to save time and get what you want
quickly, instant gratification. No sounds - musak, and/or "I want...".
Easily find things (immediately - no having to walk up and down aisles
because the marketing people decided to move things again). Quick check
out - (can't stand "extra" things like GoDaddy tries to hawk, but that's
for another discussion) done.
