Sun Mar 17 19:52:00 2002

you say that the credit card info was encrypted using the private key, 
well, i don't ever remember setting up PGP on this computer, where is my 
other half of the public key ?

and how do I do this ? is this something that I do through the 
administrative interface on the shopping cart or over the command 
prompt ?

can you give more details, the interchange instructions are lacking..
