That's fine, except that I gave my credit card number to Walnut Creek
who was acquired by BSDI, then acquired by Wind River.  I have a business
relationship with them, and I don't look kindly on them disclosing
my credit card information to third parties.  If they wish to use
someone else to act as the fulfillment agent to ship the order, it's
up to them.  But I'm still Wind River's customer and expect them to
keep this sensitive information confidential and not disclose it to third
parties.

Oh well, fortunatly my credit card expired.  But vendors doing business
over the internet and using credit cards for payment should be very
sensitive to this issue.
