Off topic but how do you use the price grabber?

Subject: [bookport] Flash Card Update
Hello everyone,
I finally resolved my flash card troubles. As some may remember, I bought
a Crucial 4 gigabyte flash card only to discover that it froze with the
BP. I did receive the caution about using only name brand CF companies
and I thought this was one of them. It wasn't and I sent the card back
for a refund, which I received. I was specifically and explicitly then
told I should only buy a Sandisk or Kingston CF card.
Rather than buy another four gigabyte card, which I have read are more
fragile than smaller cards and only just recently was supported by the BP,
I decided to go with the less pricy, more stable and highly suggested two
gigabyte card. To ensure that I obtained a Type I card rather than a type
II or ultra card (which are not recommended), I went to the Sandisk
website and found the exact model number of the two gigabyte card I
wanted. I then copied this lengthy model number to my clipboard and did a
web search using Google. A pre-configured PriceGrabber search was one of
the results. PriceGrabber is a comparison shopping service and it turned
out to be more aggressive at finding the lowest price when compared to
DealRam.com. I found a Sandisk two gigabyte CF card from an online
entrepreneur who only takes PayPal with a hard to find e-mail address for
$35. With shipping, my total cost was $40. Today I received the card
through the regular mail and it works in my Book Port great with no
problems. I have already added several files and will likely add more
tonight.
I appreciate all the help provided to steer me to this successful
conclusion.
Kelly
