Nice, but i think they better start to use mBTC for smaller transactions for getting used to it.
Like ... bought this computer in bitcoins for 500 mBTC(0.5 BTC).

I don't know how to feel about "imaginary money".
At least pretend you are not doing it just as a publicity stunt.

Heck, if bitcoin is imaginary money, then MP3s are imaginary music and JPEGs are imaginary photographs Tongue

Spurn wild goose chases. Seek that which endures.
Great news. The more of these Mom & Pops accept BTC, the more it gets into the public consciousness as a legitimate payment mechanism. It's an important spoke in the virtuous cycle towards acceptance as current money. Let's have more of it. Smiley

I know we like to focus on the "big ticket" users of Bitcoin, but this kind of adoption matters too. Thanks for posting it.
