OT: newegg alternatives

[Technomage Hawke]

java presents some more specific problems for me as well. there are sites that don't bother to turn on the accessibility modules in java (which is most of them) causing me to get a "blank scroll area" whenever I land on them. I have even tried braille output on those sites only to get nothing. between java and flash, I am one very frustrated net user. as for spam, I  use gmail's filter routines to auto-delete anything I don't want. it certainly keeps my mail volume from getting outrageous.
