MicroSD: one good ripoff deserves another / Iomega Zip's

   My latest 8GB
Class 4 SanDisk MicroSD cards cost  $2.99 each, shipped
 from a US seller and they arrived in 3 days from the order.  No
 adapter, of course. 
  Are you sure it's a SanDisk? 
    Here in Brazil you find phony SDcards everywhere. The rule is "if it is 
in a package, is original" and seems to be true. But the price (in USA) 
seems not to be so far. I bought a 16GB card (for my Dreamcast) some weeks 
ago for R$ 35, which is Us$18. Considering it is double the capacity, and in 
Brazil, the land of huge markups and incredible taxes, I doubt in USA this 
card would cost more than $6-7. Ah, mine came with adapter.
