Ah, I understand. I picked up my copy of the IEAK 5 resource kit
locally even though I knew I could get it for 25% less online, but I
needed it sooner rather than later. Not the same maybe, but I've
also bought things at a store knowing I could maybe find it less
someplace else, but the looking wasn't worth my time.
Still, bookstores are like a drug for me. Just being in them has
some value. I can see myself spending less and less time in them
soon, though, with me spending more of my time during the evenings
and weekends doing other things that actually bring in money, rather
than spending them browsing stores and spending money.
