So i just ordered my first thing online...evar :Q

From https://www.auspcmarket.com.au 😀

The card is only to tide me over while my 9800 pro is getting fixed, and i'm selling it on to a mate once that comes back...so don't tell OMGTHATCARDSUXGETA6600INSTEAD 😛

Anyway i think i could get used to this whole buying online business 😉 Could be dangerously addictive...

I don't want to know how many tens of thousands of dollars I have spent online. 😱

Welcome to the club. You know the most fun part of online purchasing?

TRACKING! Though since you're in oz, I don't know if the experience will be quite the same for you.

Depends on who is delivering it. UPS tracking rules... TNT, not so great. Norwegian Post Office, suprisingly good.

yeah synth keeps gleefully sending me his tracking updates on his HDTV tuner card 😉

I can look at the progress of my order on the site, but since i placed my order after close of business over on the East Coast i don't think anything will happen until Moday morning (so i might get up early to see if it does 😉).

Free Australia-wide delivery tho, which is nice ;cool;

My first ever online purchase was an AWE32 back in maybe 96-97.. not really sure... Yeah it can be addictive, I stay safe by only spending money I actually have. I see credit as a way for banks to keep people in their pockets.
