It is if you wanted to order with a credit card from RCS in the past.  RCS
was only doing Paypal or check/MO before and there are some people that
refuse to do Paypal or don't have Internet access.

I'm sure RCS needs to take credit cards now since they will be selling all
of the Aerotech stuff.

Worthy of front page press release on ROL?...gimme a break.  Lots of rocketry
businesses decide to get merchant accounts, big deal.  Besides that, Gary
already was able to take credit cards previously under the Aerotech name, so
I'm sure it was no big personal hurdle or accomplishment.

Wahoo everybody...Gary switched his merchant account over to RCS!

Is there some other, more pressing rocketry news that should have been there?
If not, what's the problem?

That's old news.

No problem.  Just found it amusing that getting a credit card machine
reprogrammed from one company name to another was big news, but that's just me.

Humm, I know it was not the $13 a month for the merchant account keeping him
from doing it.

It must have been the cost for setting up a real website shopping cart on
the RCS domain.
Much more costly.

So, since very few probably ordered RCS parts, compared to Aero-tech motors,
it probably made no since to e-enable the RCS website until the revenue
stream came in to make it worht while.

that would be my take on it.

There is no shopping cart on the Aerotech web site either, yet they
accepted credit cards.  

A lot of small retailers pay for inventory via credit cards, so RCS needed
to be able to take credit cards.

That should be headline news on ROL.  Another non event.  Why do you
care?  Did I miss something?

It doesn't have to. It is like the usrockets deal now. It is a brand.

Gary is like Jerry :)

Nope. Gary doesn't use "mystery manufacturers" who refuse to be identified or
involved.

Why should they?  I believe the Aerotech name was one of the things RCS
bought.  Many businesses have websites under multiple brand names.
