My very first thing was a gift card for my parents in 2004. The first tangible item was a college textbook, The Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, in 2008.

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, circa 1999 or so, on the recommendation of these forums. IIRC I also ordered a Hitachi 19" CRT monitor at the same time, as a big Thanksgiving/Christmas present to myself. The monitor sat in the box while I devoured the book in an evening. Smugworth posted:
After how much I obsessed about those books, I owe it to myself to sit down and re-read the entire series now that its done. but and also its a kerjillion books with people named Avenda and Aveinda and its v. important to keep them straight.

2003........... World War Z..... Look, it was the oughts. Ironic zombies were hilarious. Then literally no other purchases for the next 3 years, at which point the streak was broken for My Tank Is Fight.

I bought my copy of World War Z in person, at a bookstore, before Tom Cruise had anything to do with it. Probably didn't read it though

I am instead going to just encourage you to click "cancel order" there and see what happens The cancel button just brings me back to the cancel page The problem with order button doesn't do much good either

I ordered the book "The Quintessential PIC Microcontroller" on Oct 13, 2006. I didn't order anything again until 2008 and it was more books. When did Amazon start selling more than (primarily) books?

My search history doesn't go back that far but I think it was something for a fishtail I used to have. Ebay was where to get the good Japanese Zelda mangas.

A VHS copy of the amazing Hong Kong movie "Dark Skinned Assassin" that I gave to my friend who probably never watched it and lost it in his hoarder apartment. Also a CD of the album "Maxinequay" which I was never enthusiastic about but still listen to all the time because even when you order a CD on Amazon the songs are automatically installed on any Kindle you buy which is why a bunch of Raffi songs always come up when I listen to music on my kindle.

By 98 they were definitely selling CDs to compete with cdnow.com Great album for a jilted generation and I got my first piece of non media junk in 2003

That's the earliest on my account, but I know I had ordered a season or two of Buffy using my mom's account before that. I think my first internet purchase ever was '96 or '97 on eBay. I bought some Looney Tunes box set of Pez dispensers from some guy in Australia back when I collected those.

In 2007 I bought my mom a gift card so she could buy some books because she likes reading. I have a friend who met his wife by matching interests and messaging her on facebook. I had a firstname.lastname gmail account. I miss that internet.
