I know it's probably not the answer you're looking for, but I suggest you get someone to build the software for you.
Think about it; the website will probably be a dozen screens. Nothing fancy and almost everything is static (i.e. it doesn't need to change when a user clicks somewhere). Let's see if we can get an initial draft:
Static pages: index page, discography, agenda, lyrics
Dynamic page 1: you can fill in an e-mail address and then be transferred to Paypal. This is described well.
Dynamic page 2: when Paypal returns a successful payment, this page shows a number of links to download the songs or albums. Contained in the link is a Secret Number tied to a cookie, an IP address or some other way to distinguish a user. The Secret Number is then put in a URL and mailed to the user with the e-mail address from the first page. You could also make this page much simpler and just count the number of downloads. A user can download twice and then the Secret Number is revoked.
Because you only asked about software, I assume the website design is done. So that means that you need two PHP pages. With a good description, $20 and an account on one of the freelance programmer boards, you're done.
The problem with a large chunk of the population seeing therapists for minor issues is that they are clogging up the system; hence the more serious cases are not getting the attention they need.
Well, great solution you mentioned there.
BTW, I am really just repeating my first post
No, you didn't. In your first post, you just made a bold statement without specifying the problem.
Have you any idea how condescending you sound? There's a difference between feeling low and feeling depressed. And if you haven't been through the latter, then you wouldn't suggest to 'realize that life isn't a dance on roses'.
You can't imagine how it's like to drive on the highway with 90 mph and thinking "I might as well turn the steering wheel real quick and be done with it". For weeks on end. Every day.
So cut the "know-it-all" attitude and accept that there are thing you don't know a rat's ass about. Asshole.
The fact that I couldn't become a citizen and I can't speak the language stops me
I don't know about becoming a citizen, but the language barrier simply isn't. Not a single English-speaking white-collar worker I know has bothered to learn Dutch.
I was in the same situation. I was flying in a plane when the pilot said over the intercom: "I'm sorry people, but in ten minutes, we're going to crash. Thanks for flying KLM."
So this blonde stands up and screams: "Is there a man here who can make me feel a woman??"
I say "that'll be ME", unbutton my shirt, throw it in her face and say: "Iron my shirt, bitch".
Rereading my question, I see it reads back thoroughly pedantic (rightfully slapped Troll). Sorry, it was just curiosity: I have earbuds that came with my Samsung but I really have to turn the volume up when commuting by train. I was wondering whether the Sennheiser earbuds were somehow designed to specially stop ambient noise.
Moderators, in every OLPC story there's someone who's posting a question such as this and it has been refuted hundreds of times. It's even in the freaking OLPC FAQ. I'm beginning to suspect that people are deliberately trolling here, but still parent post is modded +3.
Yeah, I noticed that, it's a shame really that it's not plain old compiled code:-/
If you want users to report bugs, you should make it dead simple. In any case, even if you already have Perl installed, it stil seems like a bucket of work with a small chance of success.
I definitely agree with you that it's reasonable to expect firefox to be stable. I can think of one difference between your buddy's PC and yours, though: the browser history. Maybe if you have some spare time, you could look at a weblog entry from David Baron and see if you can make the problem occur somewhere else.

I can't believe this, Dave. Last week I nominated you for Employee of the Month and now I find this on the internets.
I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to let you go.
Let me guess.... You'd like to drink more, but you don't have the time??

Why is a Windows machine ever connected to an iPod during manufacturing? Probably has to do with units that are refurbished.
Above comment is faulty; I now understand the "cross" of "Cross-site request forgery".
I don't find it cheap, though.

Yeah well, that's not going to help the gentleman in TFA.
