Nothing more complicated than that, except perhaps for the initial start-up turn off the Internet connection to initialize the program. It then accepts what ever I've typed in as fact, and never checks again.

I think CC means credit card. Some stores check the country of the credit cards, others check your IP address. And they change their strategies all the time. That's why I gave up trying to outsmart them, what works one day will stop working the next, it's just not worth the hassle IMO.
