Yeah, I like the site. I might have missed the part number search but I saw the
search was possible and it looks good on the search page.

Just need that one search. Back at christmas I visited a lot of toy/gift sites in
search of a Talking Tommy for my father (for my niece). Gee.. a lot of fancy
worthless sites until I found Wal-Mart online. I entered Talking Tommy on a
search on the home page and boom there it was. Less than 10 minutes later I
had confirmation of my order. I later called walmart to be sure it was going to
get shipped and they said that they had product set aside for the web store.
I would also have liked if I could have searched and found out which stores had
the product. That is possible! Maybe as of yesterday as opposed to the last 5
minutes but even that is possible.
I have seen some sites developed by other people (I have pretty much been on
my own). Gee... do they spend a lot of time on design or what! I mean it is just
incredible to me the time they spend on getting the right colors and crushing
them and .. and da... and da..If a programmer was given that much time you
could really have something.
I was thinking that the time of the programmer on a website was coming but I
don't think so. I think the popularity of the web will just push most people from
really understanding what is going on or could be going on. Instead they will
just look at a distance and count the flashing lights.
