Sean -
Admittedly there is something very pleasant about looking over a price list or flyer, considering your options, making your decisions, sitting down at the desk to write out the check and putting that envelope in the mail.
Mouse clicks are neither fun nor involving. I still send checks here and there, when I can. (It's one of the things I enjoy about buying 3rd Rail items - they notify me - eventually! - and I send them a check.) It's a more tactile experience, and I am in no hurry - models are not life or death items. The wait can be enjoyable - Christmas Eve was always better than Christmas morning - and not because my presents weren't up to snuff.
