[John Harrold]

Sometime in May Greg Akins assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Yahoo Merchant is easy, but (if memory serves me) about $39.95 a month plus a
| transaction fee.
| 
| I have set up Agora (Perl)(comes with some hosting accounts).  I don't
| particularly like it, but it is easy to setup a basic store.
| 
| I've heard good things about OSCommerce (PHP).
| 
| These are all overkill for a single CD; but will all take less effort than
| writing your own.

Since we're talking about selling one cd here how about you put a web page
up with a link to paypal. They can enter their address and stuff at paypal,
and you can put a note on the page for flat rates on shipping ($3 anywhere
in the U.S). I would imagine what you need to know is buried in this page
somewhere:

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_merchant

Specifically, check out the "buy now button" link.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
