your post could not have ome at a more perfect time. there's a cvs down the street from me and i was just about to order a 1gb card online for over twice as much... LITERALLY about to type my cc number!

that is the shit you made my day

and remember dont just go to one CVS, go to THEM ALL

i don't know if all cvs's are the same way, but i hardly ever go there because there is always like 30 people in line, and never ever more than 1 (slow-ass) person behind the counter. but once in a while they got 12 packs of pbr for like 3 bucks, which is worth the wait. thanks again dude!

ooh, and when working exporting $ample$ from the 'Bank' do you get the samples as it is marked or the whole thing like you gotta trunacate them?

elhuana · Post by **elhuana** » Fri Jan 23, 2009 8:07 pm

Yep, you must truncate them before exporting if you want to have a "marked" form of them.
