Hi Dave, it is pretty computer related, which is good enough for me. Ok, web servers really aren't designed to handle a hard drive image being uploaded, 80gig is a LOT nevermind 250 or 500+ It would actually be faster to have the customer send their disk via special delivery, or you requesting a courier to go and collect the unit. As for ecommerce, I would recommend OpenCart, not integrated with Wordpress, but it is the nuts. -- Regards, Kris Douglas.
