Re: Reliable internet photo equipment shop 2nd try

For that matter any one could just copy the information from a point of sale 
as well, the credit card slip that the retailer keeps has all the 
information on it, I think we should go back to just using cash, no checks 
to copy, no credit card information to steel.
