(I'm sure the presentation on a web page could be done much more
slickly - maybe have different webpages for each timezone, country,
etc.)

Exactly. I like the "NOW" part.

For starters, I think it's simpler having each person handle their own
AP. I don't really want to have the responsibility of trying to collect
money from bum clients that I didn't even deal with.
I don't have MC/Visa processing ability myself (I've never
concentrated on doing small jobs). If somebody else did, and a
customer requested it, it would be nice if we could work out a little
arrangement.
