Anne and Carlos, A piece of information, which may be of interest. With the Canadian distribution Libranet, one buys the discs directly from Libranet in Canada - they have no distributors. They will accept payment by credit card over the internet, credit card details sent by fax, credit card details sent by letter, and even payment by means of a cheque made out in GB pounds (at the current exchange rate). Mandrake will only accept Club membership payment by means of credit card over the internet or by fax. They have told me that they will not accept it by letter. In my opinion, if Mandrake could be more flexible regarding payment, they would get many more club members. It's the same with buying things from the Mandrake Store. Libranet can do it without problems, so Mandrake ought to be able to. Let us hope they look at it again as soon as they are able. Keith
