[nfb-talk] Credit cards

dear All,

I simply clip or notch corners of my cards to tell me witch card I am 
using..  I clip the corners, away from the side that has the magnetic strip 
and either cut it off at an angle, or cut a small notch at or to one side of 
the tip of the corner and this makes it so I can feel down the edges of my 
cards and select the card I want.  None of the cards is cut alike.
I brille the card info on a 3x 4 card and do not write out  my name and only 
use a letter to indentify the card company and do not put all of the card 's 
numbers to make it hard for anyone but me to know what the hell the Brille 
is all about.

deDavid Evans and GD Jack.
