Haha. I remember when digital was a dream and then my
first digital camera had 4 Mbyte cards for about one
hundred dollars.

Cough Cough I remember when the IBM XT with it's 128k of memory and 10 meg seagate hard drive was state of the art, we could only dream about the IBM AT.

Would be funny to check out and get your order declined and have Visa call to fine out why you're trying to charge $5 million to your card.

What wouldn't be funny is if the visa card wasn't declined.

Nah, that would be hilarious! The interest alone is more than most people's gross salary

That goes through, I think the Tigerdirect people in charge of the website would get a bonus for 'exceeding expectations'.

I wonder if it qualifies for return. As far as I know, Tiger charges 15% re-stocking fee... where's my calculator

HUH? The most expensive card on that page is under $70...don't know what you are looking at! And yes, I even included the part of the URL that wasn't linked in the OP.

just think about the wedding advertising you could do with that!

"The ONLY photographer in Ontario that uses the highest quality $5 million dollar memory cards to protect your precious memories!! Don't settle for those who buy cheap memory cards!

Weddings from $3.5M and up. With Free Engagement Shoots!"
