I do wish that more of these websites had Paypal (Like this one) as a way to transfer funds as I do not like to type in Credit Card #’s on the internet.

In the past (as in 2 years ago or later) I have typed Credit Card numbers on the internet. Unfortunately, I have had too many experiences where I would check for spyware (before the purchase), do the transaction, and then, when I check for spyware (sometimes immediately after the transaction) a little later, I would find a spyware program.

Paranoid? Thats for you to decide.

If there is one thing I am ‘paranoid’ about, it is spyware (Spam is only one sliver of the whole genre) as I believe that the most creative spyware programmers (hackers who have grown up and decided to make money instead of erasing hard-drives) do not get caught by the anti-spyware programs.

When I purchased this laptop (the one that I am typing on), one of the very first things I did was to set up my Paypal Account thereby typing in my checking account number for the “one and only time”.

The next time I purchase a laptop, I’ll set up my Amazon Account as I like the anonymity that amazon gives you (thanks for the pointer, Meryl).
