    I don’t know about where you live, but in Switzerland there are still stores where you can buy computers. In fact, all computers my parents ever bought are from computer stores.

      Sweden. People, including my parents, buy computers (and everything else) online over here. Someone mentioned Mediamarkt, and we do have those around here as well, although I’ve never heard of anyone actually buying a computer there. But I’m sure some do.
