I wonder why no one here addresses the fact that you are NOT forced to 
buy from shops which do not have Linux friendly websites.

IMHO an "abundance of flash content" not really testifies as a 
qualification for a good web-shop.

So at least, let them know that you are a Linux User that would love to 
be a customer, but unfortunately....
