Online Music
I downloaded (illegally, if it matters) a Jack Johnson CD called In Between Dreams and decided almost immediately (30s into track one) that it was a CD that I wanted to have.
I headed over to play.com, searched for Jack Johnson, picked two of the three albums he has (my decision of which two was made even easier by the fact that one was not in stock), selected buy and proceeded through the checkout process.
Total time between starting track one and completing the transaction: easily under two minutes.
If this doesn’t show off both the highs and lows of the Internet, I don’t know what does.
