Hey, more good news. Our ability to accept credit cards will shortly be suspended because Visa and Mastercard changed the industry standard for internet security reasons. The software we have been using for years in now illegal to use. But not to worry, because the upgrade is only $712.25 and all I have to do is cancel 2 merchant accounts and open another because the new software only works with 2 banks/processors in the whole wide world. Not to mention that I have no idea how this new software works or whether it works with our Web Servers or Cold Fusion or if I am going to have to buy new. Plus I will have to learn how to integrate the code that makes the mudcat commerce work with the new software....

So to sum up, we're talking about at very least $712.25, the 3 hours I've already blown, about 8 hours of research to come, several hours of programming, being on hold for 2 hours to cancel 2 merchant accounts, another hour opening a 3rd merchant account, a call to my bank to set up the direct deposit from the new merchant account... oh, and 10 minutes complaining in this message I just wrote.
