<ul>
<li> <strong>It saves your shopping cart</strong>: automatically, even, when you close the browser window! Just <strong>view</strong> your cart when done shopping session.  (It saves only what you&#8217;ve viewed.)</li>
<li><strong>It won&#8217;t interrupt your shopping</strong>: so you&#8217;re not taken away from the page you&#8217;re looking at!</li>
<li> <strong>It redeems more than one gift certificates</strong>: at the same time (on the same order).</li>
<li> <strong>It previews product categories</strong> for you: just scroll over a product picture &amp; there&#8217;s a pop-up bubble.</li>
<li> <strong>It collects recent product reviews</strong>: from your fellow shoppers.</li>
<li> <strong>It finds <em>multiple</em> previous carts</strong>: if you&#8217;re a registered R&amp;T customer, this is a snap now.</li>
<li> <strong>It lets you check out as a guest</strong>: so you don&#8217;t <em>have</em> to register if you don&#8217;t feel like it.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Happy shopping!  Let us know how you like your new, improved R&amp;T store.<br />
