Important Ordering Notes:

If you live in a European Union (EU) country, please do NOT order the CD-ROM. Your order will go through, but I will need to then cancel the order. The reason is simple: The EU requires the procurement of a special shipping license (for the lack of a better term) that makes it onerous and economically untenable for a small company such as mine to ship physical products into EU countries. Please, order the archive download, instead. There are no restrictions (yet) on downloadable products.

If you live in a country that imposes value-added taxes (VAT) and you order a CD-ROM, you will need to pay the VAT when the order is delivered to you. I do not collect VAT at the time of ordering, nor is the VAT included in your purchase price.
