i want to get the new macbook so badly, but i need a place that wont charge me tax. amazon.com to the rescue. but when are they going to get the 2.0 gHz macbooks. tax would be an extra $140. . .thats like 140 junior bacon cheeseburgers

ABT is a local electronics store up here in Chicago area.. They are super nice. They matched Newegg's price for me on a tv and delivered it for free 60 miles away!

I've never ordered online before though.

Perhaps you should forego a new computer and start eating better.

Most states require you to submit something equivalent to a sales tax. It is called a "Use Tax".
