Thomas - Why won't credit cards work. Ive had no trouble with mine, exp. date 00? It all depends on the merchants credit card equipement. I had my "00" card rejected in a cab this week. The driver was aware that it would be rejected. It's his on-board verification hardware, with software embedded in the hardware (in reality the line between hard & soft ware is very fuzzy). The cab was also equiped with a fancy $1000 dispatch unit that has just been installed with great public (like WSJ) fanfare... so far it's not helping was the cabbies opinion. - David
