The Tesla bankruptcy thread and talks of Amazon in it got me wondering about the progression of my Amazon dependency. So I took a look at my account. My 1st purchase was October 13, 2002 and it was The Boondock Saints Import DVD. I remember purchasing this online in college but did not realize it was Amazon. I did not make another Amazon purchase until 2009 I made 4 purchases that year. In 2017 I made 101 purchases. I now have an Amazon credit card that gets used for pretty much all purchases be it from Amazon or not. There is also pretty much not a day that goes by I do not at least use the Amazon app be it to check prices or read reviews. Pretty impressive evolution. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand. You should know I'll be there for you! | ||

July 29, 2000. I ordered the Patton and Gettysburg DVDs. I've ordered stuff every year since then. It ramped up to about 40 orders per year starting in 2011 and stayed right around that number since. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

November of 1996. A couple of business books. Nothing again until 2001, when I got some funny Xmas CDs. Since then, it's escalated on a logarithmic curve. Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet. - Dave Barry "Never go through life saying 'I should have'..." - quote from the 9/11 Boatlift Story (thanks, sdy for posting it) | |||

August 2009 when I bought the Beatles remastered stereo box set and Marvin Gaye's deluxe version of Let's Get It On. That was my only purchase that year. 2010-15 orders 2011-8 orders 2012-5 orders 2013-5 orders 2014-7 orders 2015-38 orders 2016-73 orders 2017-71 orders 2018-19 orders so far I was deployed in late 2010 and majority of 2011 so I didn't order much, had other priorities. Also deployed late 2013 and half of 2014, Amazon did not ship to the APO where we were. 2015 was the birth of our daughter and we bought a lot of her stuff on Amazon. 2015 was also the year I went Prime and I'm convinced that taking advantage of Prime shipping had a lot to do with the huge increase in orders. _____________ | |||

Sep. 8, 2003. A software book. Actually a good deal earlier then that, but Amazon annoyed me at some point so I abandoned my original account with them. I am to have no record of the original account. "America is at that awkward stage.

You guys are good if you can remember something like that! ![]() I have no clue but I imagine my first Amazon orders were for books (probably IT related) as that was what they were most into back then. | |||

You can see your orders back to, well, at least 2000 because it shows my first order as "More Guns Less Crime" by John Lott. | |||

July 29, 1999 I ordered: How to Get Started in Electronic Day Trading: Everything You Need to Know to Play Wall Street's Hottest Game. I don’t believe I ever read it but the ball was rolling.

Ha!! Good thread... ![]() 28-AUG 1999 I bought two books, both by Stephen Coonts (I was a YUGE fan): Cuba Blue Water Ops: On the Front Line of U.S. Naval Aviation "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
