On-line Sales Links
There are many places, where I feel conformable purchasing things on-line. I won't say
that this is an endorsement but I hope that this list will group. If you have any places
that use SSL to make transactions and you have tried them, let me know I'll add them to
the list. My rule is to stick with companies who already have an establised mail order presense, that way there are multiple ways to contact them.

- L.L. Bean - L.L.Bean was founded in 1912 by Leon Leonwood Bean, a Maine outdoorsman who lived in Freeport. L.L., as he was called, grew tired of coming home with wet, sore feet from the heavy leather woodsman's boots of his day. He invented a new kind of boot that combined lightweight leather tops with waterproof rubber bottoms, incorporating the best features of both materials. Located on Main Street in Freeport, Maine, the company now sells more than 16,000 outdoor products through catalogs, a downtown Freeport retail store, and eight stores in Japan. The Freeport flagship store is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Maine, receiving more than 3.5 million visitors a year. The company also has nine factory outlet stores: six in New England, one in Delaware, and two in Oregon.

They are the pragmatists of their organizations, and they balance the benefits of new technology with adoption risks. They understand the importance of legacy code and microcomputers, and they also understand that maximizing the productivity of their programming team is crucial to their job as well as to their organization.
