That' great.

And I'm a customer who has used their site in the past, and who has 
personally compared their site to others in the same industry - can't 
remember every which one but compusa was one of them - and found it leaps 
and bounds more intuitive, and faster to complete the tasks I set out to 
accomplish.

And I couldn't give a fish's ass whether they use cookies or not. Which is 
probably not terribly far off how they'd feel about you and your 
0.0000000001% esoteric browser/os/configurations choices - choices that i 
am 100% sure you made with full knowledge that they would restrict your 
ability to use many websites.

Face it, this is 2005 and people aren't running html 1.0 on lynx any more.

It's a really stupid hermit who sits in his cave on the mountaintop and 
bitches about never having any visitors.
