PayPal is an account-based system that lets anyone with an email address securely send and receive online payments using their credit card or bank account. It is the most popular way to electronically pay for eBay auctions and it is becoming a cheap way for merchants to accept credit cards on their on-line storefronts instead of using a traditional payment gateway.

Clients are asking should I upgrade? Conventional wisdom says no. Microsoft does a great job of marketing, but not a great job of preparation. The transition to a new operating system can be a tedious and frustrating process. The majority of computers will need to be upgraded to accommodate Vista’s extreme system requirements. In addition there are likely risks of software incompatibility. Most software companies are working diligently to accommodate Vista, but these updates usually come some time after the operating system has been released. It’s recommend to wait at least 6 months to upgrade, if you must purchase Vista we recommend purchasing a computer with it pre-installed.
