I actually thought that you meant the old index cards that teach kids the alphabet and multiplication tables...

sorry that I do not have any unused cards at this time.

What are you going to use them for? Is this charitable, or will we be supporting the terrorists?

Basically I am getting DSL with static IPs and need to build a linux firewall and am using a CFto IDE device that will allow me to boot the OS off of a CF card so no harddrive is needed..

A 1 gig card is like $30 but I wont need anything close to that size so $30 is too much $$ for what im doing.

I only really need like a 32meg and up card and I know people buy digital cameras and they have small cards and most go and buy large cards and toss the small one in the drawer.. so Im looking for those small cards!!

Geez, you can buy CF cards for like $10 bucks. Just go to your closest drugstore and pick one up like this (http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=301606&navAction=jump&navCount=2&id=prod1393511). This is just the first thing I found, I've seen them around for less than $10.

Boy, I had to read that something like 5 times until I figured out what the heck your saying.
It's really simple, just too many acronyms..
Make sure to add of them to ME's thread.....

No just trying to put my minimal networking skills to use... I pretty much am going run a full blown network with a web server, a FTP server, and a high level firewall. Also I am going to build a NAS box with close to a terrabyte of storage and link that to my FTP box.

I do side work for my sister in Photoshop and do other things myself so I want to have the ability to tunnel into my network and have full access to every file I own from anywhere in the world I can get a net connection with my laptop or a PDA/Smart phone...

So I guess im taking over my own little world...
