Just tried to buy BlackICE[ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#5)

I just went to the ISS website and attempted to purchase a personal copy of BlackICE for $39.95. As stated above, the $6.99 insurance charge was automatically added, but I clicked on the delete icon to remove it. I only had to do this once.

The payment selection page doesn't show the total you will pay, and I chose the PayPal option to avoid having my credit card charged immediately. When the PayPal summary screen appeared, asking me to login, the total charge was $39.95. I was not going to be charged for insurance.

Now I can't say whether the result would be the same if I chose the credit card option, but I suspect that there was some sort of glitch in the reader's checkout process. Perhaps cookies for this site were partially blocked.

N.B.: Which of the following is not a color?
Quince, Teal, Gray, Purple, Yellow, Blue

Actually, they're all colors. Just go to the paint department of any hardware store and I'm sure you'll find a color chip called "quince".
