I don't think it's anything underhanded. More like "mention Pricewatch and
get free shipping" (though they don't explicitly say that.) I seem to
remember reading somewhere on Pricewatch that you should mention seeing the
listing on Pricewatch to get the special discount/free shipping/etc.

The first card I ordered, shipping was added to the total (it's an
automated ordering webpage) but I phoned them up and straightened it out
verbally. The second one I ordered, I just added in the comments about the
free shipping per the Pricewatch listing and they did not charge it.

For on-topic comment, the parallel cards work flawlessly. I'm now using
two of them in the garage and setting up a third PC. It's really nice to
not need to switch a single PC between the three machines (Sherline mill,
Sherline lathe and Techno-Isel gantry) even when I'm not running more than
one at a time.

Best regards,

Randy
