Local businesses need to adapt to survive. Northern businesses that are flourishing are finally offering more then just ridiculously high prices(Example blu-ray were $75 - 100). I can now have them price compare most of time to bring down costs. I agree that prime has now changed the game but so has aliexpress and other online competition.
I was also a Linux/Windows user but after several years of codec/audio/video(Linux problems) and viruses (Windows/Wife problems), I switched to Macs two years ago. First I made my laptop into a hackintosh to decide if I would like macs. Then I purchased several Macs(Pros and minis with cinema displays) over the last 2 years and plan to buy a laptop in the next week. I found the conversion rather quick and painless. The bonus is my Wife/Children no longer gets viruses on their systems.
