>becuase they don't believe the interenet is secure enough for retail commerce, so they don't shop online. Victor, I've read that before but it wouldn't bother me like it should bother the credit-card companies...Aren't they the ones who would be left holding the bag?

Surveys show that most people over 50 won't pay anything at Amazon or any other online store, becuase they don't believe the interenet is secure enough for retail commerce, so they don't shop online. And many people under 50 feel the same way (although not the majority). Victor, I am not doubting you but do you have a source for this?
