Yes, electronic commerce may be a substitute, but there is something
especially satisfying about being able to look in a display case, handle the
item before purchasing it, talk to the salesman, etc. It is also a great
opportunity to look at other brands and formats, etc.
I am, by the way, a huge catalog shopper, but every once in a while, I
like to get out and feel the merchandise.
