Good deal, but if you don't like rebates, you might try crucial.com:

256mb (99.89- $10 on-site coupon )
128mb (48.59)

Both ship FedEx 2-day for free. Being crucial, I assume the quality is good.

you can get the 256MB compact flash on amazon for $75 shipped.

add memorex 5 pack cdrw media pack for 3.99
and use the 10 off 100 coupon (find it on obese purse)
to get it for $75 shipped.

From what I have read, SimpleTech's transfer rates are higher than Crucial. I recently got one of the 128MB cards and it is about twice the speed of my Mr. Flash card. Viking have an even higher transfer rate, but from what people are saying, Viking is terrible about honoring rebates. Not sure about SimpleTech, but it can't be worse than Viking.

I also like FedEx, which Newegg uses, as opposed to UPS for Amazon.

http://www.dpreview.com/articles/mediacompare/ This shows the speed of various compact flash cards. As you can see, SimpleTech and Viking are pretty good. Crucial was lacking on either the read or write, can't remember which one.
