Yes I agree the credit card thing is cute, but I do not need cute in a laptop.
Perhaps Toshiba feels that anyone who can afford the card is probably most
familar with credit cards?

Laptop Mag. has had many ads for 3rd party vendors of those cards...I believe
they were about 1/2 of what toshiba wanted. $500 of  2MB of T1000SE memory.
Toshiba wants $1000 for 2MB! The whole damm thing cost $1000.....no add on,
other than major ones (CPU, display..), should cost more than the device it is
adding on to!

I wish it was cheeper, the memory would be nice!
