GRC -- the amount of software downloaded grows daily and I feel music will grow faster as the next generation is very music oriented and will be more computer oriented than past generations. The only question is how much they will have available to spend. I see little problem with taking a credit card and holding it. Numbers of "bad" cards are published continously. The debit side from what I see is verified and authorized at the time of the sale. Funds are immediately transferred between accounts unlike a credit purchase that goes through a clearing house for transactions that may not be setteled for days.. that is the main reason retailers love debit cards... they are immediately paid without the costs associated with deposits and overnight deposit float. No chance of these transactions bouncing or being counterfiet ---
