>any pointers?

If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is, or at least a hassle.
I tried to buy some from Dell when they were having a big sale.  Out of
stock.  Go figure.  But they would be restocking and sending them out in 2-3
weeks.  That's ok.  It was a great price.  So I waited.  I got an email
saying it would be delayed another week.  No problem.  Then, I got another
email.  Except I was away for a few days.  Had a couple days to respond, or
they wouldn't honor the sale price anymore.  Uhm...hello?  I had been
waiting a month.  They wouldn't reinstate my order.  Just canceled it right
before the cards were supposed to be back in stock.

I have all SanDisk cards, and have never had a problem.  Currently, three 4
gig and an 8 gig.  I see they just announced 12 gig and 16 gig cards.  I'll
probably get a 16 gig next time I buy.  The bigger, the better.  I believe
my odds of losing a card are just as high as having a complete and total
card failure where nothing is salvageable.
