Sorry to hear about your etail problems. Some of these vendors are
truly crappy.
I suggested NewEgg.com and Buy.com as reliable vendors. I'm not sure
that they sell ATP cards, but they certainly carry Transcend, Sandisk
Ultra and other name brands of 60x cards. The ATP cards are the best
I've seen, but the differences are tiny and I've not had any
difficulty with any of them. Fry's Electronics (Outpost.com) is also
usually reliable and sells the ATP brand.

BTW, there's an SFDIG gathering this evening in San Francisco. The
topic matter for presentation is on digital inkjet printing. I'll
send you the info if anyone is interested to attend. Cost is $15.
(I'll be there.)

At Godfrey's suggestion I ordered a 60X ATP card on August 29 @ about
7:00am. The web site (http://www.flash-memory-store.com/) guarantees
shipping the same day if an order is placed before 6:00pm.
The card wasn't shipped until Sept 1, which meant that in order for
me to
use the DS I had to drive to another town to buy an SD card. Flash
Memory
Store did not perform as promised. Today I received the memory
card. It
was not the 60X ATP card, but rather, a slower (much slower by my
estimation) plain vanilla no-name card.
I called the store to discuss the matter and ended up with recorded
message
about how important my business is to them, continued by the
comment that
no one can take my call now. <SIGH>
Anyway, I'm not writing this to evoke sympathy, rather, to alert
you to the
miserable service this store provides.
I could have purchased a card for a few dollars more from a store
that was
"slower" to ship, and gotten faster and better service.
