I knew about that. I should have thought about you, but it didn't occur to me at the time.

It turns out that that card and its inability to work (I did call ahead, I always do) was one of the reasons I sold my Casio in favor of the @migo. The other wa its speed and the Symbol's "next week" EVERY WEEK statements. I feel terrible I didn't mention it, I have to get more active with my gadget-site about these things.


idd you order it with a CC? You always could send it back to the vendor and cancel the charge.
