That reminds me. How can I generate credit card numbers that the demo(s)
think are valid, so that I can play around with the demo a bit more, and
go through the entire process of checking out and such?

Even better if I can have a test number for several different credit card
types/companies.

The Business::CreditCard perl module will let you enter the first portion
of a number and then generate a checksum for you, reading the source you
can even see what the first numbers should be to represent different issuers.
I usually just use 1234 1234 1234 1238, which is easy to remember and has
a valid checksum.

I use:

4111 1111 1111 1111
5959 5959 5959 5959

That is enough to check and see if the type-rejection stuff works.
