From Donna:
Sorry it took so long to get back to you but you have so many excellent books that I
had to make my choices carefully.. I'm starting a web designing business with what
I've learned so far and I'm ready, willing, and able to learn more daily. Your site is an
invaluable source to me for that knowledge. Keep up the good work.
I'm getting a computer soon and looking forward to starting
my business. So far the pages I've done have been produced with WebTV Plus and although it
is a good product I'm quite limited as to what I can do with it. Thank you for having this
contest as the books I've chosen will help me in my quest for knowledge concerning this
very interesting (and hopefully profitable) field.
Look forward to hearing from you soon...
Donna Padgett
P.S. Thanks again :-)
Thank You, Donna. And good luck with your Web Design
business!

"Lots, taking programming classes", and then averaged what was left.

security problems (very small)
Security is the BIG issue!!
Initial uncertainty of security buying from a new online source
May have to wait for a book.
Some products you need to feel, touch, smell (not books)
The purchase item might not be delivered or something. Or somebody could tap the credit
card number.
Take too much time to get my hands on it
shipping charges
harder to bargain
if books not receive and payment done it's not faver of us.
And our favorite-
spontaneous depletion of credit?!?!?
