If you live outside of the United States, chances are you occasionally run across an app in the App Store that you want, but can't download due to its unavailability in your country. But that's trickier than it sounds as Apple is not eager to accept international PayPal accounts or credit cards. If you want to download some program from the US Apple Store, you need to get
