Okay be extremely wary of using your credit card on line because once you have submitted your cc number it becomes accessible to the company and they will continue to bill you for various iteims. Always read the fine print I have had this problem many times and this has caused my bank account to bounce like a basketball. What they do is say you order a cd online and only want that cd swell they will continue to send you cd’s that you did not order or do not want and charge you for it….BE VERY CAREFUL
