Default Re: electronic delivery

Actually thats rightconcerning real life dangers to your credit. I make the same recommendation all the time to purchasing anywhere. Never use a major credit card to make non-major purchases. Get a little $200 limit card that is not tied to any major account and use it for gas and restaurants. Those are the most likely places to lose control of your account.

But as I said, I work for ISPs. What you said about SSL and such is true but man-in-the-middle attacks are almost mythical. Spyware on a users machine is far more likely. And no matter how many times I recommend it, very few companies bother to keep their accounting systems (the ones that store the info) completely off of the net.
