Stop! Hold it there! No offense.

I said exactly the same: what a coincidence it would be if someone intercepted
that one email flying around the world...
Then I said that IF you should be afraid of interception, then it is because of
_A_server (not GAMBITSOFT server, but A server) obviously connected to the
Internet is being hacked. It has been done. Period.

So I was NOT talking about Gambitsoft - I ordered CS Tal II and no problems -
but about the outspoken fear that sending_by_E-mail_is_the_weak_link. It is NOT.
IT'S THE STORAGE of data which CAN cause problems - NOT: WILL cause problems.

I have had problems with Internet payment service - no large sums, but three
times unauthorized pays. I got it all back, but had to block my Mastercard.
Everything went perfect, but it STAYS an annoyance.

Good for Gambitsoft they are that concerned about my money and my credit card
safety. That's customer service. bravo.
