International sales with Jena Technologies are going to be completed with PayPal whenever possible.
Our ID Handle at PayPal is: mail@jenatek.com
To pay us funds for a purchase, that is the ID to make the payment
to from the PayPal site.
We get an e-mail with the specifics instantly from
PayPal... it is quite secure, be sure to let us know via e-mail or
phone as to what it is, as well.
I will E-Mail back to you reflecting the transaction within a 24 hours as I look at e-mail several times during most days.
Questions?? contact Michael Crock at mail@jenatek.com
Under some circumstances, other payment arrangements may be possible, however PayPal seems to be best for all concerned.
If you are reading this then PayPal is possible.
Why are we doing this...
Due
to the complexity of International monetary systems, it is nice to have
a simple solution available to users of credit cards across the seas.
We
have one of the best solutions and we use it. PayPal. It is
the way to go and we use it now exclusively for anyone with a computer
that is online for international orders.
We will not do bank transfers for security reasons.
We will accept snail mail bank checks and money orders in US funds, but of course that will take a while to process throughly.
So for the speed, security, and automatic international monetary conversions we use PayPal.
One
other important note that clinches the choice for our customers... You
do not need to have a PayPal account to use the system to pay by Credit
Card.
Its the right way to go. 
..Reasons to use PayPal for your International Credit Card transactions with us...
What is the benefit to me as a purchaser of product, to use the PayPal system?
- You can use Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express with PayPal.
- When you pay with PayPal, you do not expose your credit card number to the merchant.
- It is not necessary to become a member of or have an account with PayPal to use this service.
It does not matter if you do not have an account with PayPal, you do not need one unless you want one.
The security of the PayPal site is very supreme, and is essentially the
top of the Internet hill for this kind of transaction. That is why we are using them.------------------------ Notes ----------------------
We know, that we have heard of some people in the past have had
experiences with PayPal, which did not make them happy, with PayPal.
So to be blunt, and since we have never known anyone personally who has
had problems... I offer the information below that is most instructive
on how to avoid problems of security and the truth about the use of
computers relative to the nature of security online. Are
you aware that PayPal is proactive in teaching people about online
security, not just for their site... but just in general good practices
anywhere as well. Here is a site that can teach some tips and it is kind of fun as well. https://www.paypal-promo.com/safety/Did you visit that site ? Did you play the game? Most Important... did you learn anything you did not know before?
Here is my short, terse but truthful advice on being safe online. - Don't
use public place computers for transactions or e-mail... library's,
hotels, schools. Bad for privacy and most use inferior computing
systems. Force clear the cache after use. Wash your hands afterwards, if you get my drift.
- Don't use easy to guess passwords... no pet names, no birthdays, no family names, no important personal numbers or dates.
- Don't put important personal information about yourself on facebook, myspace... etc.
Hint.... Don't use English words from the dictionary as a password... the cracking bots search for common English
words, A good idea is word-number combinations that are either an
uncommon language, fantasy words or language, non words and meaningless
number combinations with both upper and lower case letters. This is the
best way to really make great passwords, They can still mean something
to you... but should be unfathomable to the public.
Here is an example of a password that I just made up that would rate
high on invincibility O2c-Braf-Awyren2 Don't use this of course but it translates crypto like into oh to see - lovely - airplane too
in numbers, caps, hyphens and welsh language. One could remember
that if it meant something and would not be easy to crack.
- Change your passwords from time to time and don't share them.
Concerning Computers Systems:
No operating system ax to grind here, just the
truth, Really. ( I don't sell systems anymore. I am
not trying to sell
you anything computer orientated, except safety and an Idea of a better
world... but after building a few thousand computers I do know
something about them. :) - If you absolutely have to use any form of Microsoft Windows then absolutely use Windows XP SP2 or greater and
a first rate anti virus/anti Trojan software. XP is mature enough to be
fairly reliable if maintained impeccably and frankly this is what is
popular in America for roughly 80% of PCs here.
- Vista is not
exactly perfected. But if you have it, Its security is what
Microsoft is offering, get something better and... Use Firefox
for the Browser.
- !!!! Don't USE Internet Explorer with a version number lower than 7 !!!! without some very serious anti virus / Trojan software... be smart.. Be Safe.
- Good anti virus for Windows systems? Yes it is possible, here is some information, http://www.kaspersky.com/
Hint for security.... Don't use Win 3.11 (joking, does anyone remember it) or Windows 95, period. ( 95 is 14 years old which makes it a computer security nightmare and is a dinosaur's dinosaur ) Avoid Windows 98, NT 3.51, 4, Win 2000 and Millennium, If Windows is what you must use, it should be XP SP2 or greater and use Firefox 3 or greater for your browser. Don't have Firefox???... Get it here for free... It works very well http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/Microsoft itself is somewhat dated in the 21st century... (And the sage whispered into the ear of Cesar of ROME "All
glory is fleeting and this too shall pass" no empire is forever,
if the people do not love you. ) Usable Better Systems overall relative to Windows? Option 1 for Internet security is to use a Mac. Yes it is a little better than Windows
for security. And you can buy a Mac all ready to use. Why
is it better? it is a variation of a Unix system and that is
inherently, factually more secure than any Microsoft product can ever
be (see below)
Technical Best of all possible computing solutions regarding security,
and reliability? (and more) Option 2 is... Linux. Yes, I know that most people will not use it for some years to come but it is the future in years to come.
As I said, I am not selling computers but political correctness ends
were truth begins... I can show you the path but you must walk it
yourself.
