I've bought from CompUSA on 57th & Broadway or J&R Computers when I have been in New York; if you're from outside the USA you don't actually save much unless the exchange rate is well in your favour, otherwise use a local online supplier, for the UK I use dabs (EBuyer are unreliable and some of their business practices could be best described as highly questionable)

Wondering where Workingman is hiding?

Here in the USA, went online at Staples, ordered 1GB CF and
1GB Sandisk storage cards, were delivered the next day.

Filled out their online rebate. Then, in a few weeks received
fourty bucks from Scandisk for the promo ($20 per card).
Don't know if the rebate is still on. I just regret not purchasing a few spares.

J & R Computers if their brick and mortar prices still match there online ones. They're in lower Manhattan within walking distance of where the World Trade Center used to be.

Walking from Ground Zero. *.jpg attached is Ground Zero last
Christmas. Will be back this Christmas, our annual vacation.

Check the NY Times on Sundays. J & R always runs a full page
add advertising sale items.

J & R also has a website. Order online and they ship anywhere
however, don't know if they ship off-shore.

well, very thanks for these replies.
if anyone can still help... it would be great.
i'm from brasil, and the exchange rate these days
aren't that bad, so it's a good time to buy imported
things. the axim, and the extra battery, i'm planning
to buy from ebay. i was going to buy a microdrive, but
for what i have seen on my searches, microdrives have
some imcompatibility. that's sad, because the price x storage
rate is good on microdrives...

well. j&r computers have really good prices.
they have good prices on pny flash cards.
both sd and cf 1gb are 40 bucks !
i think i'll buy 2 sd and 1 cf, all 1gb capacity.

SD / CF Cards
Happy Turkey Day to all in the Good Old US of A!

Todays hot deals, Thanksgiving weekend sales include from
both Circuit City and Staples, probably others too,
SanDisk 1GB SD, and SanDisk 1GB CF cards, under $40.00 each!

That's 'bout half the normal sale price.

JR Computers. I didn't see an SD 1g card for $40, but I did see a CF.
