1) You can transfer money with Paypal using your bank account
2) Most CC companies offer much better fraud protection than you bank account.
3) Use a CC company that offers one-time use numbers.
4) Gobo doesn't have a way to receive money in any form.  In order to
do so would entail some tax hoops.
5) Try using bittorrent to d/l the iso.  It has much better with
intermittent connections.
6) Email gobolinux-users stating where you live and ask for someone to
mail you one.
