Thanks, but that doesn't work either. It took more than 10 minutes,
got only part of the page, then failed to finish: "connection
failure". It loaded up to the "Country of which you are a citizen"
box, but this is inactive. I tried this and the US registration page
about 6 times, same result each time. I think the problem is the site
security. Great! What a website. And I suppose that if on the 10th
try it succeeded, I'd have this trouble every time I attempted to
make a transaction!
