Yeah, you're well and truly outside of the target market for ecommerce providers. You should look into something like this, or a weekend-worth of custom development.

I gather you took a Magento project and it went pretty badly? Happens a lot. It is also used in lots of project which don't really fit its feature set, etc.

Once you get past the steep learning curve, it's actually a very decent system, with a few flaws. Can also run pretty snappily if you set it up properly.

Other question: how does PrestaShop compare to Magento...?

PrestaShop is smaller, has fewer features, and is almost certainly a better choice if it fits your requirements. Also look into LemonStand and OpenCart for other light-weight but high(er) quality PHP ecommerce applications.

Apparently it's a PHP/MySQL app for running a web-based retail store.

Outside of Appleville, we call this an ecommerce application.

In any event, PrestaShop is one of the more decent modern OS ecommerce applications (in PHP. If you're open-minded, look at Spree instead). You don't need to buy anything to get started, aside from the services of a development company for rebranding/customisation.

Please elaborate. I can't spot anything wrong with the punctuation in TFS.

Anyone for a false dichotomy? No?

The United States of America, I presume.

Does it bother you that you're thinking in terms directly derived from Apple's substantial marketing campaigns, and coming to the intended conclusions?

From my experience, it seems like solid state storage tends to break when the circuit board is flexed, even a little bit. Hence CompactFlash > SD-Cards.

But perhaps I'm just being a closed-minded ethnocentric pig.

Nail, on the head.

There's very little purpose to the 'my culture is better than your culture' rant, and this was one of the less reasonable ones that I've seen.

Do you give the burger seller more power over you than necessary? Are you willing to be the burger seller's product?

I have no problem with the concept of business. What worries me is businesses who gain power over governments while maintaining their for-profit motivations. As a motivation, for-profit isn't inherently malign, but it certainly is non-benign. As far as I can tell, nobody's even pretending that corporate motivations are benign, but we tend to lose sight of that when discussing the merits of these mega-corporations.

I'd suspect that it's a smaller subset of possibility than the answer to your question:

And even if it's possible for people to be benign, how about a group of people organised for a non-benign purpose?

I'd say it's possible, but only when it suits their primary interest. And I sure as hell wouldn't trust it.

Really? Is it possible for a profit motivated organisation to be benign?

So, you're claiming he's seen your mother?

'AAA', 'successfull', 'midly'. Do you just make up these terms as you go along? :)
