Holiday shopping held steady through the weekend after retailers saw a huge crowd of bargain shoppers buying discounted flat-panel TVs and fleece jackets on Black Friday, the traditional post-Thanksgiving Day shopping spree.
Comscore says holiday Web shopping is up three percent, which isn't that much since last year's sales were soft. But sales were up 11 percent on "Black Friday".
Leading US retailers are on Monday unleashing a surge of special deals aimed at online shoppers, amid initial indications that their efforts to improve sales in their stores over the busy post-Thanksgiving weekend have delivered sales only slightly ahead of last year.
After a relatively low turnout last year, business for online retailers is expected to take a turn for the better as more shoppers shift their spending away from traditional retail outlets.
But some people may not be getting the computers they hoped for this holiday season On the eve of Cyber Monday, Apple Macs held the top three spots on Amazon's "Most Wished For" laptop list, as well as the top four spots on the desktop computer wish list.
