Looking back, I remember numerous mail orders, occasional phone orders, 
and trips toward or into New York City (about 100 km away) to get to a 
store that carried whatever-it-was.  In fact, in NYC there was a store 
that specialized in just that kind of thing, whatever it was. :-)

I go OT (and tend to be verbose) a lot too.  In the Mandriva Linux 
newsgroup, I've been in a thread literally called "Off-Topic" for 
several years, although much of it is actually appropriate for that 
newsgroup.  Right now, most of it is actually about how to get my 
Thinkpad T60 networked securely under Linux, and how to get it secure 
enough to bring it out to public hotspots.  Also a little about a 
homemade "laptop desk" (to be made out of pieces I already have) that I 
can rest on uneven surfaces, and making sure there's plenty of room 
under the computer for good air flow, especially under the CPU.  That 
certainly isn't specific to Linux or that distribution, but might be a 
good topic for this or even a general laptop group.
