True--most of them won't notice--but if they find out they'll feel entirely betrayed. To do online sales you have to have a secure server, or use someone else's. Your credit card provider will also shut down your account (well, not shut down your account, they just won't give you your money) if they find out. Or am I misunderstanding something? (And besides, aside from all that, are you actually willing to have your customers sending their credit card information to you unencrypted over the internet?)Best regards, Velma ---------------------------------------- Velma Kahn Glory Day Software Company 200 Tanager Ln NW, Floyd, Virginia 24091, U.S.A. phone: 540-745-6469 * fax: 651-321-4884 email: vkahn@glorydaysoftware.com http://www.glorydaysoftware.com http://www.communitymade.com http://www.floydcrafts.com ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
