Can I be charged sales tax in Vermont?

I've been trying hard to find out if apple.com can charge me sales tax when I live in Vermont! Two of their customer service reps confirmed there is NO store in the state of Vermont. Yet, they both told me I had to pay it for online orders. Neither could explain WHY. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this. I'd really like to order my new computer!

Yes, see

Don't forget that a state may also have "use tax". This means that if you make annual purchases over a certain amount (perhaps a couple of hundred dollars) you are supposed to pay state taxes on the items as part of your annual tax return statement. Details will likely vary by state.
